practically speaking yes i wanna be rich. i wanna live a life with all the things i want. who would not like to live like this anyway? i guess all of us do. aside of just thinking of myself and my family, if i am rich, i would donate some of my riches to the needy. honestly i want to have a charity. i want to help the less fortunate people. being rich does not necessarily means that it follows happiness. yes you're happy that you have the things you want in your life but if you don't have love to other people it's useless. i prefer to have a simple life with love rather than living in riches with no love at all.

thanks for choosing me as a best response. yes it is indeed more important to be rich in love than to be rich only in material things in life.

I also agree with you my friend! Every one of us are seeking to live in RICH for some certain reasons. I'll be an hypocrite if I would not accept to myself that I don't want to become rich? of course, I also wanted to become rich in the first place because being RICH you can do whatever you want and buy whatever you need. But I've realized that it's not RICH in wealth is so important in this world but it's how you deal with your life through a simple way of living. Living in RICH offers more material things but living with a simple life offers humble way of things and that's the kind of life I wanted to be.

I would like to live simple life in a little town or village where everyone know's each other. People are close and happy, no big crime and gossip's rampant. It sounds like a wonderful place to live, occasionally visited by tourists. Now that I think about it, I described an Irish/Scottish village. Living in a big city you would have no time for yourself and always in a hurry to get things done. I would like to just enjoy the quiet life with scenic surroundings to draw.

well, i would want to be rich.. i enjoy simple life, but of course, i would also want to satisfy my cravings, although most men cannot be satisfied, they will ask for more than what they have in life, they never get contented with things. i want to be rich, but i will surely spend my money in meaningful ways.. i would also want to help charity.. or old people who needs to work in order to help their family. being rich doesnt always have to spend for leisure, some people wants to become rich to help the less fortunate ones.

I have to say that I would prefer to be rich. I would love to have a big house with lots of rooms and a home gym, a pool, a home cinema, and everything else. I don't know, as of yet, how I am actually going to get rich enough to get that kind of thing, but I would like to be able to do so at some point in the future.

I would like to become rich, depending on my ability to handle money. I want to be rich so that I could help others and give more. I always want to give and treat others and I want to do and give more to them.

I like to live simple and fine. I am not used to rich life it attracts trouble a lot. I prefer a single plain life. I don't like rich life because then we would be dependent completely on money not talent. Everything would be just bought and not earned. Simple life would be the best for me. Cheers!

Being rich does not simply mean you have everything and you own many things. There are things in this world that money alone can't buy. Like love, friendship, family, happiness

its nice to have enough money to pay your bills and be comfortable but if you are rich you have more to loose, more to take care of and maintain.more worries about how your investments are doing and weather people around you can be trusted with your money or like you just for you. i choose the simple life then you have less distance to fall if you loose everything.
