I would sacrifice my comfort first, and then my happiness. The thing is, we all make these sacrifices every day. Those two things, of all of the ones listed are temporary situations.

I would not sacrifice pride, honor, love or reputation. once you lose them, they are gone. Health and money can be recovered.

Trust me, pride, honour and reputation can be restored. Just ask David Beckham rather than OJ Simpson.

I would have to strongly disagree with that statement.

Health can often not be recovered.

Money, depends on your situation. Many people are but a catastrophic illness away from homelessness.
