This argument has been going on for decades between the Lower class, Middle class and the Upper class in our human societies. So, what do you think?

The answer is no.. The lower class has all the abilities to make money at least skill wise. They have the street smarts to cope up with different situations. They've been striving since day one, the problem is they are accustomed to a culture of poverty. They tend to seek for immediate pleasure and to gamble upon their fate. They can make money if they really wanted to. They have all the aptitudes and attitudes. The middle class on the other hand tend to be more relax. They are somewhat contented with what they earn. They are contented with their salary and benefits that's why they won't take the risk of doing business. Often they were the ones who were the best in school, the dean's lister and A+ students during their school life. They have the school smarts but they do not have the drive to go for more. They can make money with a little capital plus their knowledge. The upper class, well of course, they have all the resources to make money. They might not be the most intelligent but they are the most creative. They dream and they dream big. They aren't contented in six-figure income a year. They aren't contented with a good, nice home beside the beach. The surprising fact is, most of the rich started from scratch. The upper class are the ones who once belong to the poverty class. They just walk the thought. Thanks,

Yes, in most cases. But you can be smart by using others money (borrowing) to make more money. Unless you are skilled then it doesn't need any investment.

The bank business is to lend out money and not lending out would mean they would have to close shop soon.

Hi, plakele. Yes, it does take money to make money. Many biz opportunities say that there is no money involved. But, nine times out of ten there is money involved. I have seen so many things that says 100% free but in the end there is nothing free, I would still have to pay somewhere down the line. Especially when they say that an Ebook or an CD is free. You still would have to pay for the shipping and handling which is not free entirely.

There is nothing free in this world in terms of Business. I think saying that something is "Free" is a logical terminology that business owners and marketers are using to make money. Free registration. Free housing, free health care...etc. All are never free.

You can make a lot of money without spending a dime. Through the sale of your services. Then you can take that money and make money with it, through the power of investing. It really depends on how much money you want to make, and what services you provide. Case in point, traditionally people sell their time to employers, for minimum wage, if you work at McDonald's or something like that, you are paid for your time. You get a higher wage when you increase your skill. So if you are doing something that requires much skill, you get more money. If you are able you can take some of that money and put away, and you can earn interest on the money you saved. Or you can invest that in product to resale or in stocks and bonds and make more money. Cheers.

Thanks a lot for your response. You speak with experience. But i don't think that investing in stock is a good idea all because of Global Economic crisis. And many countries are still yet to recover from recession. Well, am getting ready to start up my vegetable farm back home in Africa next year. I thank God for our good arable soil and warm weather....

Stocks change daily, the good get bad, the bad get good. It depends on how and when you trade. Much money is both made and lost daily there. Personally I would prefer to invest in myself, and invest other peoples money into other things, to make me money, then give them their money back. Cheers.

All you need is ask the government bank on how they make money to know the answer! Seriously, there are a lot of ways to make money. For the thing that you are saying, money to make money, this is illustrated by investments and funds creating money by themselves. Another way is by giving up services and goods to have your money. Really money is just a human construct but in my opinion it is not only through money that you can make money.
