Depends on what kind of morals you have I suppose.

Hmm...I have never lived in a 3rd world country...I have visited several.  Not all 3rd world countries are dictatorships.  In the US the rich get better 'anything they want' than the poor.  Stressboxer, where do you live?

My wife and I have been in both places (though we wouldn't live like royalty in the third world), and we both prefer the moderate living in the "first" world. There is much more to consider in a third world besides wealth, such as safety, medical care, transportation, and freedom to do as you wish.

According to Happy Planet surveys, happiest people, year in and year out, come from a country off the coast of Australia.    They are considered very poor from the world's standard, yet their lives are very fulfilled and are in harmony with the environment.  May be you should change your attitude about calling them "crappy third world country".  Happiness doesn't necessarily come from owing I-phones, BMWs, having steaks for dinner, shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue, or access to cocaine.

The survey results from Happy Planet may surprise you.  Click below and take your own survey to see how happy you are:

If you are living like a King suggests to me you would have all the money then therefore the choice would be yours.

At first I thought, you know I could do a lot of good for a 3rd world country. Then I read Unbriel answer. I don't want to be assassinated. Some of these places look hopeless.I'm not that selfless! I'll go with the 1st country! I love clean water, and hot water on tap! I like electricity! I love my computer and eating regular meals. I can look out my window and see pretty lawns, and flowers blooming. Not people starving, living in the streets, sick, homeless, hungry and poor.
