Money often comes with prestige...
Maybe you could be more specific as to what you wanted to point out :smile:

For me, Prestige is more important than Money. I believe that anyone can achieve something in life even if they don't have money or riches...... they start from nothing, their only capital are the good attributes/character they possess and the determination to attain their goal and thus gain respect and admiration for what they have become. Yes, money can buy some things that can make you look great or successful and people may look up to you , but it can never buy prestige which is a hard earned respect for your good attributes, hardwork, perseverance and determination.

I agree with everything Dolphin says,
and would add that;

Once lost, money can be regained...
Not so easy to regain prestige once it is lost

Just to be philosophically intrusive, I'll suggest that "between" money and prestige in importance, is whether or not a person lives their life according to their own principles or not. Whether they are really who they say they are, whatever that happens to be.

You can have prestige, and you can have money, without having any sense of personal honor at all.

So I vote for personal honor and integrity over both money and prestige.
