Someone stop me before I do something I'll end up regretting.

I should have stuck to the more domestic ones, I suppose.

What does man love more than life?
Fear more than death or mortal strife?
What do the poor have, what the rich require,
And what contented men desire?
What does the miser spend, the spendthrift save,
And all men carry to their graves?

Ooo, a rhyming one, it's been a while since I've seen one of those. What the rich require... Poverty would be too easy of an answer for that, wouldn't it?

[philoxidizes]

I'm not sure someone can require poverty, in any case.

[timey_wimey]

It's debatable. It would certainly cut the rich down to size, anyway.

[philoxidizes]

Possibly. I've never found myself thinking about the upper classes too much. Unfortunately it doesn't quite seem to fit the rest of the clues.

[timey_wimey]

Yeeah, you're right about that. Something like poverty, then? That whole state of not having something.

[philoxidizes]

Are you quite sure you're on the right track?

[timey_wimey]

Nope, absolutely no idea.
