Have you ever wished you were born RICH?

I think all people have =) When I was a teen i really wanted my parents to have all the money in the world, it later occured to me that they more or less did. They just didnt wanna spoil me and my brother and we all lived like normal people. Got our allowence wich was the same as other kids IF we did our chores and so on. When I became an adult my mom and dad moved to a more luxious place and even though they still work they have more freetime for travelling, parties and so on.. They still dont spoile us rotten though and I am glad that they learned us that we all haev to work to get a good life and that they had us live normal lives and not feed us with the "silverspoon"

I did when I was younger, Now I appreciate all I have gone through to get to be who I am today. I appreciate things a lot more. I do however wish I had different parents. Not so much for me, but for my children. I wish they had loving, wonderful grandparents. They do, but they are very far away. My parents are not so far, but lack in everything you would imagine a parent/grandparent to be. So for the money, nah, I am good to go. For me, I am glad I am who I am and I got here all by myself. For my kids, yea, I would like more for them. They truly deserve it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, many times. I ask my mom why she didn't marry a rich guy. She turns around and ask me why I didn't marry a rich guy. I don't even need to be rich, I would just like to have enough where I didn't have to worry about paying bills and have some left over for some luxeries. "I am not greed, I am needy"....

I'm going to have to be honest here and say, no, I have never wished I was born rich. Thanfully, I was born into a family that wasn't poor, but not rich. We were comfortable...but worked hard to get/stay that way. I feel that the values I learned by this type of family made me the person that I am today. I remember even as a teen, I had friends who were very wwealthy. I never did envy their wealth, as I didn't like the attitude that seemed to come along with the wealth. I also wouldn't want the headaches that would come with wealth...those who would try to befriend you because of the wealth, the horrendous tax issues and more!

i have no desire to be rich.to have decent money yea but to be rich no. Most of them are are so unhappy -you can see it in your eyes.You don't know if your friends are really your friends or are just with you because of your money.you always have to worry about being kidnapped and can't just get up and go where you want cause you have to worry again about being kidnapped or mobbed by people.That's no kind of life for me

Countless times! But it is too late since I was tricked into believing that my parents were rich and thus deposited myself into the wrong home. That's the problem with a demo system. So instead of lamenting and wishing I was born RICH, I made countless wishes my parents will be rich after I discovered that my parents were not rich. Until now, my wish has yet to be fullfilled but I am gonna be RICH. Sure there will be this day :)

when I was little yes! I think we all go through that stage , then I realized that ai have such a loving Mam and Dad , if they were rich they would probably have never bothered to have quality time with me , teach me all the nice manners teach me the value of love and friendship , teach me how to respect my elders , teach how to show love to my children and grandchildren , I have said it before my friend and I will probably say it a lot more times , MONEY can not buy you love xxxxxx

of course! i have been nurturing such a wish since my childhood!:P but when i meet others and find that they are actually perceiving me as a lucky one having born in a family like mine.. i start to think if i should be glad about my background or whether to assume myself lucky that i haven't born in a financially lacking family;) but yes there's a desire in everyone to reach to a level(or levels)up from his/her present one.based on my current experience, if i had been some rich child then for sure i would have been someone who is considered a damn fool in money matters and who keeps giving out money to his friends and admirers..and in the end is a bankrupt!lol so it's better that i m what i m right now!:P

When I was a little girl, it was always my fondest wish to be rich just like my other classmates. I saw them with a nanny and a driver and all the shiny, pricy cars. For a little girl who needed to walk home alone, having a set of rich parents was always on the back of my mind. Eventually, my father was able to earn money and suddenly, I found myself with a driver and 3 cars in the family garage. We began to have rich friends who only knew how to spend money and to brag. But what happened when you lost all the money, nobody remember you anymore. My answer to your question is no. Like what I told you before, I like to have enough money to move on. Having unlimited supply of money may sound cool but it won't guarantee you a lasting happiness.

As my sister mentioned on the trip, if I didn't look so much like her she'd think I was adopted. I like nothing the rest of the family likes & the only one in the family that liked ANYTHING I liked was dad, and he only liked them a little bit. He was also the only one to encourage me with any of it.

Hasn't everyone wizzy honey? Well if they weren't born very rich I would say most of us have dreamed of this at some point of our lives! Would I really want it - no I think I would like to be financially secure but I would not have liked to have been born very rich - I am happy to have learnt that things we want have to be worked for and that everyone has to contribute what they can and I do not believe I would have learned this if I was born into a rich family! xxx

Yes friend, I have to be honest. I have so many wishes like that, but I later discovered how injurious it is. I mean when we keep wishing we were rich, that feelings will make us weak in terms of struggling for ourselves. It doesn't make us plan for ourselves effectively. That's what I think anyway. Thanks and have a nice day.

If not mistaken, I think I was born when my parents and family were rich. Business were good when i was really small, but then it turned bad alongside with country's economy. My family becomes poorer when government changed some policy on lumber harvesting project, then economy getting worsen, and parents have to close the restaurant from losing more and more money on maintanance. We can't decide which family to born to, but I don't think that matter to me. I am more happy with the way I am not, earning from my own expertise, paying for my own car, paying for my own loan. I do vent about it, but ...haha, no regret!

yes, my family most poor but my uncle bash people for money. he was rich until someone bash him back. i work in tax office until i rich to buy wife as never had girl partner

I would never dream of being born into a differently family to be rich. Now, have I ever wished my parents were rich when I was born? No, I can't say that I have ever even entertained that thought. But I have wished on numerous occasions that I was rich. I often fantasize about writing a book and it becoming such a best seller that I became rich off of it. Or that I created something and became rich off of that. But as I get older I am faced with reality that it will never happen. So, now I dream more of just being well off enough that all of my bills are paid, food is always in the house, and that I can take my kids on vacation. Sometimes even that is nothing more than a dream though. Good thing we have dreams.

i have wished often times that i was born to a rich family... but then thinking of it.. im glad that i am at this life... i have had my good times and comfortable living too... so i have to be fair to my mom who made it possible... maybe it would be better if i was rich.. if we were rich... etc etc but i guess i could have other problems right... in this life.. we probably won't have everything... just abit of something... to make it a bit fair to everyone else...

I kind of consider myself as having been born rich. My father, God rest his soul, was very wise with his money. My parents sacrificed big time in the early years of their marriage (2 small children living in one room of a house). When they rented a house of their own they took in two borders - very good friends of my Dad. My father saved money, invested money, worked hard to advance in his career to become president of a publishing company. He had good friends because he was a much loved guy. They helped him out when he needed it. What I mean is his boss gave him the money to make a down payment on the house they now live in. The house cost $40,000 when they bought it 42 years ago. That house is now worth over a million. Only my mother, my sister and the accountant know how much money my Dad has stashed away in various investment accounts. We never lacked for anything, but we were not given stuff we didn't need. We still had to work for what we wanted. I started babysitting and working at my Dad's company during vacation and after school. By the time I was 20 I had $10,000 saved up. Back then that was enough to make a down payment on a house. But then I married idiot number 1. What is really important here is something my mother told me when I was a teenager - "Do not marry beneath your station." and "Marry someone like your father." Unfortunately, I, married twice, married poor men. Men who liked to spend money. Men who liked their drinks and their toys. I never had a real relationship until I was 22 and because of that I held onto him thinking I would never find anyone to love me. I did not think I was worthy of a lawyer or doctor. I took what I could get. Then I ended out divorced and broke, then single and pregnant, raised a daughter on my own for two years, met another man who came from a poor family but invests well but spends well too. And then I got sick. I could not work. I could not provide financially to this family. I became dependent on both my husband and my father (I owe my father & mother $32,000 - he did not give it away. He loaned it at no interest but with a signed contract and stipulations in his will). My mother, on the other hand, gives money away, but still follows the stipulations of the loans all five of us children have made with our parents. You can be born rich but you can screw up or life can throw you curves or both. Being born rich doesn't necessarily mean you will forever live rich. I wish I had listened to those wise words of my mother's. I also wish I had ambition and dreams when I was younger instead of just living life as it came. I hate living poor. I did not grow up living poor. I am not accustomed to living like this, even after 20 years of it. My ship is not going to come in unless I work for it, and even then there are no guarantees because the dock I am working on is an unpredictable one and so far has not been solid at all. I know you are probably referring more to being born a Hilton or a Trump, but look how Ms. Hilton has messed up. The Trumps, on the other hand, have still had to work hard. Life can turn on a dime, or even a solid gold bar.

Yes, lordwarwizard, I had thought and dreamt many, many times that my parents were rich. I have never thought changing them, though. I just wished that they were rich. In fact my great grand father WAS a very rich landlord. He lost his everything in fighting against British Colonial Rule. And, I think that his fight was very legitimate as British Rule was looting local wealth and was quite suppressive. Many English writers too describe it as such. Anyways, My grand father saw the transition, from very rich to very poor. I just wished that there was no colonial rule, that they haven't made my parents life miserable. On a second thought though, I see that there are many positive things even in apparently negative ones. So now, though I wish that they haven't had problems yet I see that they not being rich have given me a chance to evolve in my thinking. I couldn't be myself or what I am, if they were rich. I probably couldn't have the chance to feel the pain of so many people around. I probably wouldn't be as humane as I am now, if they were rich. So, I do see a blessing in that too! I do not mean here that rich people are not humane, It's just that I probably were different and such a person that I don't like myself to be.

How I wish I am from a rich family. But if I am I may not be in mylotter discussing with you as I might be busy going around the world, managing a big business, having fancy dinner with the onassis and kennedys (the young ones), or maybe in a yatch for a trip to Monaco or Puerto Rico. To dream the impossible dream... but I am happy to what I am now, mylotting with different people, eating the best pizza in town, sleeping when sleepy and dont go to work if feeling not so good or just plain lazy.

yeah i wished this before when i saw some stuff that my parents can't buy because of financial incapacity...i cried most of the time...specially when i got to college the only money that i have was from the school allowance and it is small that can't sustain my daily needs...i cried when i don't have money anymore...that's the time i ask myself " why i am not born rich?"
