In our society,we have either rich people or the poor people.The rich feed the poor,the rich are getting richer and the poor people are also getting their livelihood. But the question is that are rich people really rich in everything. The answer according to me is that this is not always the case.A person who is rich in money may not always be rich in everything like family relations,happiness and peace of mind. What do you say "ARE RICH PEOPLE REALLY RICH IN EVEYTHING"????????????????

There are some rich people who are rich in family, friends,happiness, peace of mind, etc. just as there are poor people who are rich in these quantities. There are also rich people who are poor in family, friends, happiness, peace of mind, etc. just as there are poor people who are also lacking in these qualities. So if you think it is better to be poor because you will have more friends, your family around you, it is just as wrong as someone wanting to be rich because he can throw money around and lord over others. So it depends on who that person is. AS for family, I am sure there are some rich people who wished they had more brothers and sisters because they wanted to help someone out and it would be frustrating for someone with all that money and no one to help. Of course there are charities, but some rich want to help personally. As for peace of mind, some rich people have more because they do not have to worry about getting sick and being unable to pay for the operation. And some poor do not have peace of mind because they are worrying where their next dollar comes from. In other words, everyone has troubles and money can either hurt or help it. It depends on what the worry is and everyone needs family and friends so they can help them.

I dont think so, there should be some aspects in their life which is less than other people. No one is perfect or totally rich in everything.

hello nk2009, I've known some people that I thought are rich but they are not really rich. I said so, for they borrowed a big amount from us and that they will pay us after two months but until now it's more than two years already. We are having a difficult time to get our money back. Their house are big, they have more than two cars and their life style is really like they are one. For me, the less fortunate one is richer for they have their conscience. They have the dignity to protect aside from their family. And for these, they happy because they have peace of mind.

No...rich people are not always rich in everything. Likewise, poor people are not always poor in everything. No one is without struggles of some sort. it's life.

I agree with you. Rich people are not rich in everything just like family, good relationship with others, peace of mind, and love. Rich people were rich only in wealth. They can buy everything they want but money can't make someone totally happy. On the other hand, poor people is also rich not with wealth but with friends. Poor people value friendship because through friends they live their life happily and able to cope up with problems and difficulties. They were helping each other. There are so many people who helps those who are poor than when you're rich only closest friends and family are the one who help in case of problems and difficulties since they only make friends with their own level. Rich people don't have a real friends while poor people have. Both poor and rich people don't have a perfect life. Maybe in some aspect those who are poor is more pity but if we think it hard and compare the real truth that life is somehow fair.

not really.some rich people have a lot of money but don't have any friends.some people doesn't have lots of money but have a lot of true friends.some rich people don't have genuine happiness.some are just getting their short-term happiness from the stuff their money can buy.

From my observations between people that are barely on the scale at all versus people that are in middle class.. Don't know any rich people personal... I thing that the more money you have the more stress out you become... The less quality time that you truly have for family... granted a rich person can take their family on a cruise around the world, or some other place... but there is no time for just sitting around that old dinner table and being a family... One parent is rushing to get to this, another parent is in a hurry to get this done... Family time is in the car on the way to this place or the next.. Personally a poor person does things more on the spur of the moment.. Lets all go to the park, or watch a movie together.. It seems the more money someone has in their pocket, the more complicated life gets.. No time for the simple pleasures of life...

Rich wealthy people are not always happy. In fact, they got more complicated problems than those in the average and poor people. I'm not saying that I don't wanna get rich but we all know the fact that MONEY can't buy HAPPYNESS.

i dont think so....rich people tend to have more habits...and concerns that override what they should be concerned about...like family and health....i think that the richer you are the more careless you are about importain stuff....your more concerned about jus being more rich.....i also think the richer you get the more greedy you are....which is never good in any situation...

No one is really rich in every thing. Not every poor person is rich in happiness,like not every rich person is rich in every thing.Some one can be in middle class and have a mom or dad that is mean or cruel to them.Just because you rich or poor or middle class does not mean your always happy of mad or upset.Emotions do not work with money.

I would say definitely not. Money is tangible and cannot replace values, aesthetics and appreciation of life and beauty in any way whatsoever. Unfortunately, today's modern societies have become so materialistic that individual's main aim nowadays is to make as much money as possible. If all a person lives for is money than I would consider that not a life worth living. Money may provide comfort but cannot provide good health in which to enjoy that comfort. Money cannot provide anyone values which are passed on by generations, nor it can provide an appreciation for life and all things alive.

Rich Dad Poor Dad - Rich Dad Poor Dad shows the importance of investing.
i read in a book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, that the rich only appears to be rich. The rich are in dept of money because they had squandered it all away on luxury items. they will die leaving their children with money to owe. however, there are others who invest their money into assets (items with will earn you money such as real estate, stocks, bonds, etc). so i think that you cant really judge rich and poor by the immediate. looks can be deceiving.

Hi friend, See friend there is no question of rich and poor.Rich or poor both are people only.So each have their own problems.Rich people will also have their problems with that of poor,because both comes under people category.So i think you have a wrong assumption about the rich vs poor people.I advise you to change your views and treat them equally. Have a nice day

Not all the rich people were rich in everything. If the got lots of money, they have also a problem, jut like what you've said, they have a problem in thier family, they have no peace of mind and they have worries too. Of course when you get rich, lots temptation from cheating your wife, doing gambling, you worried that you might get kidnapped or bulgalers might break into your homes. But the advantages of being rich is you can buy what you fancy. Happy posting.

riches is not evrything. life is almost similar for all humans. every human who is bon has to face hurdles and every human has to cross the hurdles to move ahead in life. what is a problem for me may not be a problem for you but you still have other things in life that are problems for you. standing at a distance it seems that a rich person is happy because he has materialistic pleasures but the fact is that he may be having other problems which you are unaware of.

Well, money cannot buy everything. You might have all the money you want, but money cannot buy you true friends, true relationships, true love. What i think is bad about being rich is that, you can't really meet trustful friends, most of them be friends with you just because you are rich and they want to get something from you. Meaning they just wants to be your friend because of the money, not you. That's bad.
