When I first read this, I though it was asking two things:
Would you rather be wealthy and ugly, wise and sickly
or
Beautiful and stupid.
But then I realized it was three things. As I don't like to be sick, that nicks out the "wise and sickly" part. Plus, I don't consider myself to be wise, and I'm not so sure I'd want to be anyway. And, I'd nick out the beautiful and stupid, because of the stupid part. I'm not sure that being beautiful is all it is cracked up to be either.
Which leaves me with "wealthy and ugly", so I suppose that is what I'd choose. Because at least I could use my wealth to help others - and travel. Because I love to travel. Besides, when it all comes down to it, beauty and ugliness are really in the eye of the beholder. What is beautiful to one culture, is not to another.
Either way, I think these are all dangerous combinations to choose from. If I could mix and match them, I'd like to be wise and wealthy. Then, perhaps I could increase my wealth and possibly make a real difference to the world.

It wouldn't be much of a dilemma if you could mix and match. LOL
I think you underestimate yourself on wisdom. You don't have to come up with famous, profound thoughts in order to provide wisdom to your family and those around you.
this is a hard one isnt it! I like what Jaye said - how about middle aged and comfortable? so I refuse to be either, but stick with a mix of those....!
