Well yeah... This is a very sensitive sentence because when we talk about money, its involves our emotional even spiritual level. Believe it or not, the function of money is more than a medium to exchange goods and services, but also to exchange the work hard with another thing that possible make us happy. However, Money will not bring us happiness, but its for sure with love, right?
Having trouble with money will also bring hell... Ahaha. That's true. And the reality is Love cant buy... because its something abstract in which cannot be exchange with anything inside the department store. You dont pay with love, but money or credit card.
I just learned today that there are two type of money problem in this world, the problem of having not enough money, and problem of having too much of money.
Of course many people are tend to go to the second problem.
Having too much of money means YOU ARE RICH.
Mylot-ers... what do you think about RICH? Rich people? or what do you think if You become rich someday? Will you change yourself, your life?
I am asking this just out of my curiosity. :)

i would have to say that i never want to become rich, i would however want to be wealthy, were i can look down the road and see my family will be okay in 3 to 5 years. however if i came into money i would buy a bigger house a nicer car and nicer clothes but i do not think that would change who i am, because i am proud of the man that i have became and do not want that to change.

All I know about rich is only the ownership of money and riches. But for the term wealth, i think its the entire needs of humanity. Some philosophers said if we are rich doesnt mean we are wealthy. But if we are wealthy, we are rich.
Because wealthy person has money, health, and spiritual fulfilment. I think in maslow's pyramid, they reached to the highest degree self actualization. Hmm...
Yeah, everybody who wants to live more they want better cars, houses, or even better lifestyle. :) Have a great day.

I love M-O-N-E-Y, who else doesnt? ;-) But i work hard to earn it. For now my life revolves around of how to earn more and more and more.. Its tiring but i love the fact that my savings gets pile up from my sweat and blood. I dream to own or create a world of which i have an empire to manage. I want to build a business of my own, which for the moment i have not figure out yet. Well rich people has high risk and high debts.. They borrow money from banks to invest into something and borrow again to grow their businesses. Its quite a cycle but some rich people find their purpose of living doing it and not stopping to earn more and more..
If i will get super rich, my life might have some changes but i would still the same person who will not stop working and working to earn more and more.. Well a luxury vacation for some time would be nice, so i would indulge myself to it of course

Actually most of us getting all the ideas from our parents about how to earn money. They supported us to enter good quality school and graduate, collect our degrees and diplomas, and after that apply for job. After we work, we have to save... But i think the way to go to riches is through business. We have to own a business that we have to let other people work hard for it... This is the reality of McDonalds that even Ray Kroc is not exist, his business is still exist and the money is coming into his pocket. Maybe he is not enjoying it, but the family. Im thinking and always ask myself, when can I start a business... what type of business? And the most important is the capital...
Of course the rich people knows already how to make their business growing and growing... Make them richer day by day. And I am still asking myself what to do to get myself into that path...? Aehehe...
Borrowing money is also about our reputation, we really dare to be responsible in using it. We have to grow that money and return that money to the bank after we get our ROI from the business we invest. But of course the challenge still there, what business, when, where, and how to make it successful?
Too many books being written for this topic and Im getting crazy to look over one that is very suitable for our needs to satisfy the hunger of getting the way out of the problem 'lack of money'.

It would definitely change my life if I became rich. I would no longer have to worry about not having money for this or that. I would help others in need of things also.

With money, you might be happy or may be not. Without money, you simply can't be happy. Unless you live in a cave and grow all the food you need, make all tools you need by yourself, etc. Money would definitely be needed somewhere at some point of time. Lack of it at the precise moment, unhappiness will come.
My view is that people normally don't get "rich" to the extent that allow us to buy an island or a whole building. But with some hardwork and knowing more how to invest early, it is possible to get to the point where we are having enough money for what we need.

I believe there is a point you get to when you can be way to rich. When you have so much money you buy things just to buy them and they have no real meaning to you then your too rich. Now having enough to pay the bills, go out and have some family fun, and stuff like that is great. It lets you have enough to live a good life but not so much you do not know what to do with. If you have enough to make it so bills are not a worry then your in the right ball park. It's all about living for the people that are your friends and family around you, not how much money you can throw at them.
