How do you prioritise between health & wealth?

Is it a blanket rule that health should always be prioritised over wealth? or are there scenarios when the opposite is the right way to go?

Health!

Can't really enjoy wealth without health...

but if the set back in healthy is temporary and only minor, i guess I will choose wealth. For example, if I need to do overtime today, and i know its back for my health as I have not slept for 24 hours, I will probably still do the overtime if

  • its not often that i don't have enough sleep

  • its only temporary, i can catch up tomorrow

  • work is really important.

Guess what I am trying to say is, if its a temporary setback to health that I can recover fairly fast later, I will then proritise wealth in that sense.

Health is always above wealth in any case. There are times where even myself, I lose sight and wealth is placed over health. But I thought about it - it makes no sense for me to build up my wealth, only to spend it all on health, which was caused by my chase for wealth.

Protect your health, accumulate your wealth! They work so differently like a paradox but comes full circle when you talk about life in essence.

Studies have shown that a person in better health experiences greater feelings of well-being, including feeling more fiancially secure. Now, I think that's something probably money can't always buy.

Very rarely there are such scenarios where health is more important than wealth. Maybe if the impact to your health is short lived, then probably yes. But how would you know if the impact is short lived anyway?

Health. You should always prioritise health when possible. I have a friend who's working almost over...
