So for me, I pursue happiness, and I an an extremely happy person. I would say the amount of time I spend laughing and enjoying life is probably more then Bill Gates.

I doubt that. Bill Gates is probably a pretty happy guy. Tons of money, a loving wife, kids, and he's a notable philanthropist who has received tons of recognition for his work. He also changed the world significantly. I'd say he's happy. A better example would be Lawrence Ellison.

Anywho, I hate to be one of the corny ones, but I'd take Love. Sure, I'd probably choose money if I was 14 years old and broke (like I once was). Money is great, but loneliness is a pain that no amount of money can heal. How would it feel to know that nobody loves you? It would be the worst feeling in the world. A feeling that many people face each day, and something I hope nobody in this thread has to experience. Having no money would be terrible, but being unloved would be unbearable.
