In response to mr. sjrjala's blog, my answer would be Bill, hands down.
I think it's more important to be wealthy in health, family, and friends than it is to be wealthy in money. It seems like money can do ugly things to people and Bob sounds like he should be miserable. Bill, on the other hand, has a family to keep him company and that must serve as motivation to keep going. If he can keep food on the table and clothes on their backs, he's not doing so bad after all. Bob won't even be able to share a meal with his family or see what clothes they're wearing. This is all from a family stand point, but if someone was more materialistic, Bob would take the cake.

Poor
People can be poor in different ways; from health to money. The biggest concern across our country is an economic issue.
It's not just a concern in our country, but all over the world. The biggest factor, i think, will always be what your country can offer you. A good economy, opportunities, and a stroke of luck always help. However, it's what men and women choose to do with those opportunities that can make or break them. Most people will work their hardest to become successful, while others may blow their chance. Some people in our society get lost in their addictions and poor decisions and dig a grave for their economic well being. I think it's terrible if a poor person does not have money to take care of their family but will gather enough change to buy a pack of cigarettes or a beer. Nonetheless, i am not afflicted by these addictions nor do i know what it's like to be truly poor.
Many people are not even given the chance to really fulfill their lives. They could be born into poverty and just as well have no opportunities to even try to get better. Not all poor people are lazy. Either way, everyone should have their shot at a decent life.
