Would you rather earn $50,000 a year while other people make $25,000, or would you rather earn $100,000 a year while other people get $250,000? Assume for the moment that prices of goods and services will stay the same.

Since what others are earning doesn't affect me, and the prices are not dictated by the level of earnings...I would choose the 100K.
-
aaaa no? neither more money more problems. how about live out a box and eat scraps.
-
i would donate the 100Gs to the people earning 250Gs..........

I would rather have the $50K, when the economy goes to hell, others will be affected first and the government will try to fix it and i'll be sitting pretty in the meantime. If i picked the $100K, the oposite will happen, when the economy goes to hell, i'll be affected first.

100K a year would be a nice raise for me so I'd take it. I'm not interested in having what a lot of really rich people have. I seriously doubt that I'd be interested in buying an excessively large house, ostentatious jewelry, or a very expensive but unreliable car even if I had infinite wealth.
