    I'd personally rather be rich because then I could give money to people and organizations who need it. I'd actually be terrible as a famous person because I'm too sensitive. I just couldn't handle the papparazzi picking apart my clothes, hairstyle, weight, and love life all the time.

    I don't think I could handle the paparazzi either or the hate every celebrity has to deal with. So I'd much rather be rich, could do almost anything I want. That sounds nice.

    Rich. Money can buy you fame later if you want it badly enough.

    Famous. But for the right reasons obviously.

    Rich. A lot of people knowing who I am has no value to me, but money does have value.

    I'd much rather be rich. I know how to handle money without becoming a different or corrupted person, and because I'd be able to donate money to the right organizations.... and also, because I like money. Sadly, I hate to imagine myself with financial problems. I worry too much about money now, as it is. xD

    While being rich is something I can take or leave (I'd much rather be simply happy), I would absolutely hate being famous. I'd rather remain a casual onlooker in this world, with a rare selective few people noticing me.

    Rich because, one, I like having to not worry about how much money I spend, and two, being famous would tear me apart. Everyone would know who I was, everyone would be constantly judging me, and the paparazzi.. I needn't explain that one. I'd just rather be an observer of things going on rather than be a part of them.

    Personally neither appeal to me as they aren't important things. I would go for the money though so I could provide for all my family and help people in need as I would feel like I had contributed to my life thoroughly enough.

    Honestly neither. Having a large sum of money can be very stressful to deal with. Given the choice I would like enough money to do something, but not enough to do nothing.

    Rich. So I could then have all my transition and feminizations. Once I was done, I would donate the rest to fellow financially challenged transpeople to use toward their medical needs.

    Nobody should have to suffer like I, and others who can't transition due to poverty, are forced to suffer. If people had that kind of support there would be a lot less suicides among us transpeople. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy, for those of us born without our chance, a lucky break is a lot of times the only hope.

    I don't like a lot of attention, actually, so probably "rich." Wealth means having the resources to accomplish things, which is always nice. And it would be nice to not have to worry about money.
