What will happen tomorrow, we will not know. Life is full of question marks. If now we are rich, we do not know if tomorrow still rich. If you are in a position as a rich man, and for any reason you become poor. How you feeling? What would you do? Are you going to fight to get back into the rich? Or you despair and resignation.

Hello indafth you're right life is full of mysteries, questions, worries and everything we can't avoid. You gain upper hand in the society if you're rich and you would be look less if you're poor. That's the naked truth.
Whenever you become rich and go back of being poor again that's the wheel of life.
Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down. Yes practically if I was rich before I would have to strive hard to win back again my riches.
Why? It is because life is going forward, not going backward. The time that passed would never be backed again....
We must go on no matter what happen as long as we are still alive normally.
There's always hope in every tomorrows..
Good luck for both of us friend...nice topic.

Always strive for higher goal, i think that's the secret to become rich, if we will not be contented on our present condition, that's another key.

Life is a cycle I guess. Sometimes your up and sometimes your down. But if your down, down be so offset, Because a long the way the course of life will again be in favor for you. Same in our issue, If you become poor don't be become offset, what you need to do is to put together all your strength and stand up from your pitfall,surely planning is a major factor on this,

Rich people, that know how to handle there money, don't get debt. Rich people that think like rich people, don't let themselves go into debt. Only poor people that want to be poor, and get a windfall and become rich, become poor again.
It is all in your head, what you think happens happens, and rich people that think like rich people, just are rich, and that is how it is, far more poor people become rich, then rich people become poor, and your richer then you think.
If you have clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and food in the cupboard, you are richer then 75% of this earths population....if you have money in the bank, money in your wallet and loose change in your purse or pocket, you are among the worlds 8% most wealthy.
Cheers.

this all very hard and the reality is that fewer and fewer middle class in Argentina, is getting larger the gap between the rich and the middle class and become part of the poor. There is no other thing to keep fighting and try to stay, thank God I still have not fallen into poverty, but every time we below, surviving.

It is really hard to fall down from a rich man into a poor man.., it's better if it's "rag to riches" situation., but if i am someone who is rich and suddenly became poor.., I will be in despair too but life must go on.. i will have to learn life the hard way..=)

you should fight for the riches and work on it to get it back...
sometimes life changes so drastically that even us are not aware of what was happening to us... but I'd say no matter how much challenges we have gone through when you are rich and you become poor you should go and work hard to being what you were.. and even greater!

No one can possibly predict what will happen and your attitude may well determine your outcome. We are not rich and never have been but we know we are more fortunate than so many in the world. There is so much we cannot control and all we can do is work at that which we have power over and leave the rest to the gods...

rising from poverty is a wonderful experience..and when we experience a promotion, although there is stress in this situation, we tend to tolerate it more because it is a good experience.. it gives us convenience and relief from the hardships we have had in our previous lifestyle...
but from rich to be demoted to poor is a stress that is pretty difficult to adjust in to. if it were me, i suppose if i could fight it, i think i would.... i wouldn't let myself go down without a fight... ^_^

My dear friend your question is very sensitive as no one wants to be poor but we can't predict our destiny. So, in future if me or anyone becomes poor then no need to dishearten yourself.
Be patient and try to find out the reason of your financial degradation, may be it is transitory. So, in my opinion one should not back up from the situation but should try to cope up with hard work, courage and will power. If you are honest and hard working then very soon you will reach your former position or still higher in position.
So, courage, conviction, knowledge, hard work and determination are the key words towards the success.

Oh, that's really a terrible feeling to drop down to poor from rich. But I think one should always think how much for him/her to earn instead of how much he/she has been earned. Life is struggling. We shouldn't lie on the record of merits.
Anyway, it's difficult to do than to say. I think no one can take it nothing if he/she becomes a bankrupt.

Money is a instument. it's play in all kind of roll. richer became a poor (or) poor became a richer. Its depend on their business. what kind of business you are doing. and how you perform in that role. power of leading, management skills, good communication and money.

Hi indahfth, I am not rich in money, at least not by western standards having just a monthly pension. I'm sure however that there are many in the world who would think of me as rich. It's very true that we don't know what will happen tomorrow, but even at my age, if I suddenly had no pension I would not give in to despair. I would find a way to provide for myself and my wife. Of course we can be rich in other ways, such as having a loving family, living in a great country and having many wonderful friends. Blessings.

hi indahfth well I was just thinking of an old song that tells how I would feel not having ever been rich in money, I would "pick myself
up, dust myself off, and start all over again." and that is exactly
what I would , and have done so many times.

How you react all depends on your point of view. Sometimes being rich is very hard work it consumes your whole attention just to maintain the wealth. In that case I would feel relief from the stress. Another situation would be a person who is sometimes rich and sometimes poor, then I would feel the push to become rich again. Someone who has never been poor might be very fightened to find themselves in this situation.

will definitely be very painful to accept it ... imagine, it's like falling from a height of 60 meters! .. however, still have to get up and must spirit to go forward again. Like as a baby, although fall over and over again, he will stand and try it again

I'll definitely going to fight and get back my richness. I am not the kind of guy that will just give up because of something bad that happens. And nothing good will come to me if I'll just give in to despair. But I think if ever I became rich I won't do something to lose all of it. I'll make sure I stay that way till the rest of my life.

I can't say I was very rich but I was well off. My ex husband ran off with all the earned and left me pretty much in the poor house.
Although there were days I wanted to curl up in bed and cry and leave the world pass me by, I have to say that it would not have resolved my issue one bit.
Although I am not doing so well and some days I want to throw in the towel I can't help but to think that if I don't continue to try the world will not do it for me. So I must try and try again, even though it is not easy I feel that someday if even happiness I will be enriched.
