One of the best questions for showing what people value. Win the lottery but lose every friend you have, or keep your friends and always be a little short on money. Almost everyone picks friends at first, then the debate begins.
The case for “Win the lottery but lose all your friends”
- You could make new friends with your new life.
- Money could buy experiences and comfort.
- You could help strangers in need.
The case for “Keep your friends but always be just a little short on money”
- Good friends are much harder to find than money.
- Laughing with old friends is priceless.
- Being a bit short on money is a problem you can solve.
Our take
Keep the friends. Money can be earned again, but old friends who know your whole story cannot be replaced. This question is a great reminder to text a friend today.
Keep the debate going
Make it harder: what if it is just one best friend instead of all of them?
