They're rich! Are They Happy?

Hmm, good question! I know one rich person and several well off people and they all have the same exact issues that we have; with one difference! Now they have an added worry of losing it all!! They have relationship issues, health issues, family issues, need attitude adjustments; even more so because they have money! It's like some of them are so vain and I guess it's because they're proud of their accomplishments, but why look down on me because I'm not where you at financially?! So, I won't say that they're any more happier than we are, just that they have more stability in their financial health, so that's what makes them seem overtly happy!! Taripre$

I am not rich now, but I want become rich. How to become rich? We all must rich, if we rich, we can concentration life not to find money but focuss to family and we can help to many people

Some people even became rich by doing what they loved the most, instead of getting carried away by what other people wanted to do. So maybe beig rich wasnt their goal but since they did what their heart said, they enjoyed their journey to the top. Even I want to be rich. Yesterday I started a similar discussion "I love money! Do you?" And there was someone there who commented saying I really wonder whats missing in a person's life when he/she says he loves money. I just wanted to reply the only thign missing in my life is money! :D I have everything else :) I am not rich now but I have no doubt I will be very soon. I want to experience all the beautifl things in life once and then I dont mind donating to the poor and needy. I dont even know how I will do it, but I am sure I will do it ultimately

Hi shadow41 I am by no means rich and if I was I probably wouldn't spend as much time on here that I do! hahaha A lot of rich people are not happy because they wake up in the morning and want for nothing. The drive to get things has gone because they have already got it or can just go and get it, there is no excitement in thriving to get something anymore.

hi shadow41 i think it depends, if you get those riches through hardwork then you deserve to be happy but if you get it through bad ways then i think it's hard to be happy. Being rich doesn't mean your happy what important is you live your life fairly, that will make you happy.

Hi shadow41,Well I agree with you most people want to be rich and famous.They work hard for it.For me I am not rich but I can say that I'm happy of what I am.I am Contented of what I have.Not all rich are happy because they had so many obligations.some rich said they're not peaceful at all,lack of rest,and almost no time for the family.For me I want to be happy with my family.Have a nice day!

I think it is still a matter of balance. If a person is rich but he has sacrificed everything including his relationship with his wife, children or other family, then he can never be truly happy. If he has a lot of wealth but no true friends, people he can really talk to then he will still feel lonely. Being rich is an advantage but it is not everything.

Well shadow41,i think happiness does not see whether the person is poor or rich.There are many people who are not rich but they are happy and some people who have pots but they are unhappy.I am not rich not poor,but i am happy.Yes,i want little more money for my son but i don't want be rich bucz rich people face more problem then we.

Hey, Well I am actually not sure if they are actually happy, but I can pretty much guarantee you that their lives are filled with a lot more leisure than what our lives are filled. I don't want to be rich, just have enough money to easily pay off the bills and have a house of my own. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

The rich people are definitely more happy than the poor. It is impossible to be happy when you are poor. One can be happy only when one's belly is fed, one has good clothes to wear and one has got a decent shelter. Of course, rich people also want to grow richer. This is expansion. It is not out of dissatisfaction. It is only that man wants to grow more and more. For some people, more growth depends on the dimension of wealth.

Financially I am not at all rich. But I consider myself to be the richest person in the whole world for one particular reason. The reason is that I close to the people who love me very much. You can have all the money in the world but it would seem worthless if you have no one to share it with. People first then money.

I'm not rich and I'm not that poor ^_~ maybe in average level of life, uhmm they can be happy coz they can buy what they want, unfortunately most of them don't have a good family, I dunno, as long as my family is whole and happy, I can stay here in my level and cannot ask more. ^_~ Don't be too hasty to reach want you want, the faster you reach the top, the faster you drop and fell down again ^_~

In Chinese culture people use to say :" People sacrifice their life for money, Birds sacrifice their life for food". Chinese use to say this to make themselves aware of working too hard and sacrificing their health, family, even life...Initially people pursue money as much as possible just to make the life easier to enjoy. But as the need extending as long as increasing of their income, it seems like thing doesn't develop as good as the initial hope. Busy and hardworking has become the worst enemy of " gold digger club ". Yes, no one can put the need and the effort in the proper ratio, so that won't be making harm to us. But experience will be a good teacher, getting wise is a must.

I'm perfectly content with what I have now; I am by no means rich nor poor. But who doesn't want more money? :P

I am not rich but I think I am well provided by God. I think being rich is not the way to be happy because if wealth is making people happy then why there are so many moneyed people who are still unhappy? In fact the happiness of a man living a simple life could not be surpassed by a man who lives in a mansion surrounded by guards and always thinking of how to increase his wealth and how to keep the wealth so it could not be stolen. Having so much material things in the world destroys contentment and peacefulness of ones mind. Not all of course but many rich people want to be richer. Money becomes their god and they totally concentrated their minds to accumulate more and more wealth and relied on the power of their money. At the end of the day they retire and tried to sleep on a comfortable and very soft bed inside an air-conditioned room but could not sleep soundly because of the many business deals in their minds and also still unhappy and feeling empty because their thirst for more money is still unsatisfied. This is so unlike a person who is already happy and contented with his day to day living under the grace of God who provides him with all his needs without necessarily making him super rich.

You can define riches. It is a dollars and cents. It is an accumulation of assets. Private jets like John Travolta.Luxury cars including sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Mansions in all big cities in the world It is a live-style. Travel in first class or in your own jet. Warren Buffet is billionaire extraordinaire. What is happiness? This is relative to desire. It desires are met, happiness is considered as present in their lives.This can range from a life free from diseases and other physical and mental threats.It is getting the women of your dream. Beg or buy;have it your way to her heart. I am not rich but I am contentedly happy at my level.

Hi Shadow, I don't mind that I become rich If any chance. I am easy to satisfy with my life as I do not pursuit the luxury life. Some of people are born of rich, I think it is not good for their growth as it can not practice their personality in such superior enviroment; some of people are rich as they try very hard to accomplish, which means they will pay for it, saying the health or the love. I just want to be a common healthy person.

For me I'm not rich.But the rich people is Bessy always because they don't content of what they had and the worse is there attitude is not good they want always that they first.

HAhaha, im not a rich person:)but i think a lot of people cant imagine how is not to have enough money even for bred or such things! America is a strong country everybody wants to go there to get some money make a new life, in America you can make 100 dollars per day there its not a good money, here 100 dollars you get per month:)so this question is strange !!in America you are pour with 4000 per month here you are millionare and you can do everything:)))rich or pour on which part of the world??:))
