Hi!I think to make money we need to spend money.so there is the first problem.i think that is the reason rich people make more money than poor people.other than that poor people have to struggle a lot to get that first money.once the money starts pouring in then there is no difference.i believe in luck also a little.so getting that first money is also based on luck.

im not sure but i always tell people i was born poor and will die poor. i think if you get the right opportunity and can become successful in life it may be in the cards for you to become rich.also we have free will from God and free choices we make can change our lives.i guess we will never know if it destiny or not? i mean if your just lazy and dont have goals for your future you will never become anything or anyone. im not lazy just not successful in what i do at the time but that could change anyday?

I think in some parts of the world yes people are destined to be poor. They are born into that life and that is where they stay. I think in North America it is a bit different and even people from the poorest families can change there lot in life and become rich. I think in North America it is easy to lose your fortune and become poor.

Yes, a person who is born in a wealthy family will
most likely to do well in later life. The reason is because
they already had the money and the excellent education the
elite and rich people can afford. The future is shining
brighter for them. While the poor man's children had the
higher percentage of growing up poor because the situation
is already difficult. Some poor people has no good education
and they marry at early age and stay poor for the rest of
their lives. But there are others who defy the odds. They
become successful even if they are once belong to a poor family.

To be rich require an effort and a lot of guts and savings. You have to move and learn new skills and strategy. Their a new book entitled the conspiracy of the rich. They discuss the reasons that pinpoints the very core of richness and being poorer. They are people who are rich who become poor. because, they are already on top bu t abuse their power and spend too much of their money on something that do not help them to multiply money. Some reasons they venture on a business that fails and a great party spender. Other are poor but becomes rich, because of their wise saving, patience, and wise decision to engage in business that will help them to get rich quickly in a smart ways. Becoming rich and poor is not a destination. It is our own freewill to decide which path we like to go. In exception of this, some became rich from inheritance and lottery.

No, I don't think so. It is how you handle and use the blessings that the Lord has given you. We should all utilize our talents and skills so that we can prosper in the work we have. Hard work, determination, and faith is the key for being successful. Nothing is within the reach with just a blink of the eye.

I don't believe in that, if you say you are destined to be poor you are only thinking negative, do you believe that everyone can be a millionaire someday. YOu just have change your vision and to use your craft. There are many stories from rags to riches, if you are not doing something for your own good then you will be poor forever.

hmmm, I try a lot of things to become rich, but it hasn't worked yet. I really hope I can be rich one day because I have very expensive tastes. I would like a huge house and the ability to fly round the world and a whole heap of other things that aren't going to happen unless I have millions of dollars!
Some people are very lucky that the family businesses or money that they inherit pretty much means that they are rich with no effort on their part.
