You can be rich or respected. Never both. Which?

Respect. Watched rich people destroy themselves chasing more. Respect keeps you grounded.

If you're truly rich, people will respect you whether they want to or not. The inverse isn't guaranteed. Strategic pick: A.

Growing up broke taught me respect doesn't matter when rent's due. Giving this one to rich, sorry not sorry.

Respected, easy. Money fades but your legacy doesn't.

This is a false choice and you know it. History's richest people are often despised, and the most respected figures lived modestly. The premise breaks down immediately.

Rich all day. Respect doesn't pay your bills or let you sleep easy at night.
