Thb that i'd rather be good looking than rich   stance: i'd rather be rich:
If you were rich you could live at whatever standard you chose, you could go on vacation, you could feed your interests and hobbies, and live whatever life you wanted.
If that didn't do it for you, you could give a bunch of money to the poor and people would like you anyway.
If you still felt insecure about things you could hire a coach and stuff so you wouldn't be, and your friends around you would make you feel better, especially if you used that money for a good cause
