Being rich is a good thing, but being alive is better.
Being poor is a bad thing, but being alive is better.
Being a middle class person is okay, but being alive is better.
Being alive matters more than anything and everything.
Some people might think otherwise, but that is the only truth. 
As far as you are alive, you can work hard to overcome things, but that is not the case once you die.
You only live once!
