Is that a true statement, or my observation is completely wrong. I knew it might not apply to all people, but from my experience, and observation, it apply majority of individuals when they get rich. They might become less secure since they think that other people might take advantage of them in the cause of money. Also, they will be less trust on people who around them; even that is their relatives, or best friends. Maybe that is human nature.

I'm sure that is true. I guess in a way rich people can sometimes become 'financially' insecure as well just because they rent million-dollar homes, have about 18 cars, and are generally living a higher standard of life - therefore if everything came crashing down - they would be just S.O.L. That's why if I ever 'get rich' - you can bet I'll be living well below my means - JUST IN CASE!!!

Rich people might not have the same concerns as the common man but they just have a lot of different concerns. People tend to worry about how to manage their money, but when you have a lot of money that you need to worry about managing, that is going to weigh on them. One misstep and it is back down the economic ladder they go. IT could make them cringe for sure. Also, they never know if they have true friends. Let's face it, there are a lot of people out there who befriend the rich, so they have a lifeline when they get into trouble. They may alienate any true friends with an attitude that seems a bit superior to the common man and slightly pompous as well. So indeed, they might not be secure in their life, they might think that it is a lie. Rich people might have money but no amount of money in the world can purchase a completely secure lifestyle.

Yes in my opinion its completely true but even though your not rich you will experience same thing if the people around you found out that you have gain something for you life. I did myself experienced it. Before when I was a student there is no much people help me when i need help mostly on financial matters such us projects in school, school tuition fees and daily expenses in going to school. I came to my relatives to help me out but most of them don't give much attention so i did find ways to support my own expenses. So with my courage and determination i graduated and found a good job. Just recently i purchased a house so people began to recognize me they come to me borrow a money so let them borrow but mostly they don't pay what they borrowed and i am not a typical of person that ask for what was borrowed from i just wait until they will pay but most them they don't pay at all and get back to me to borrow again just like they never borrowed a money with me before. So what do you think? Can you still trust those people?

Money in itself, is the name of the game, when it is not with you then also you are in secure, when its is with you then also you feel in secure.
