Original Question

Im struggling to find the logic in this slogan. 


It seems the logical form would be something like this:? 


X or not X its nice to be X. 


But how can not X be X? Is being nice to be X suggesting not X is X in the initial premise?

I read this as "Lots of X" or "Not much of X" it's nice to have some X.


Am I reading this correctly?

"To have money" could mean "coming into money," as it winning the lottery. But most likely I would think "to have money" is meant as "enough money, not "rich". So it would be


X or not X, it's nice to be Y
