I would place having wisdom ahead of having money. Having the wisdom to create, add and find value would eventually lead to success/money. Having money without the wisdom or knowledge to use it wisely could possibly lead to failure/loss of money.

• Money is a tool
• Wisdom is the knowledge/experience on how to obtain and use a tool

But of course both are useless without action

A lot of unwise people end up with money through inheritance, lottery etc. Many of these people then end up with nothing left. A base level of wisdom is vital to every be able to intelligently spend, invest and grow money.

Both. Life is about balance. That being said -

Wisdom and money can get you almost anything, but only wisdom can save your life.

If you had to choose, which of these would you want more of in your life?

Wisdom. As much as I love money, for me, the true good life is one where I can be comfortable within myself. Self-awareness is an absolute must.

What do each of them mean to you?

Wisdom to me is admitting you know nothing, so that you have space to fill. Always staying hungry.

Money means freedom and the ability to pursue more of what I want, including wisdom.

I'd rather be a millionaire with average intelligence than a genius living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Wisdom is essential to life, making the right choices, taking the right actions, and knowing how to problem solve. Money is like the stock market, it will go up and down all your life depending on your wisdom. One without the other is pretty much useless.

Take away my factories,
my railways,
steal everything
I have,
but with my experience
I will have it all back
in a short time.

There's more value in things you can't buy.
