How to be rich

In less than a year now, i'll be finding work and hopefully earn a high pay. I have dreams of being rich and be able to pay back to my parents. I grew from a not so rich family and I have seen the struggles that my parents have gone through to brought us 4 children. I'm the youngest in the family and next year at last i will graduate in college. Any advice to make more money faster? My parents are not that young and i want to give them things that they deserve before it's too late. BIG LOVE TO MY PARENTS. xx

Save as much money as you can and invest it sensibly. By sensibly I mean putting your money into something fairly safe that will bring a steady return, like shares in utility companies etc. And don't forget to re-invest your dividends. Meanwhile, learn as much as you can from all the jobs you do, you never know what knowledge might be useful in the future. Try and make some money in your spare time too, you should be able to operate some kind of part-time business for a few hours a week apart from your main job. What sort of business it should be will depend on your personality and skills, but the point is to earn money and gain experience. Don't waste money on things you don't need. One final piece of advice: read a few biographies of successful entrepreneurs and see how they did it. In a nutshell: Work as hard as you can, earn as much as you can, save as much as you can, and learn as much as you can.

I cannot give much advise on how to become rich because I am not yet on that status at present. For me having enough for our daily living would be a nice thing. There are times that no matter how hard we try and we do our best, still we cannot get what we want. In this case I could say that we should learn how to accept things as it is. On the other hand, working hard and being patient is also one key to be successful in life. Being frugal can also help a lot. Have a nice day!

If you love more to your parents then dont run behind money. Money is important for our life but not more than parents. If more money means more stress and tension no time spend with family members and I not like this so I not want to make rich. God giving me the money for eating, wearing cloth etc. and I happy in this.

I also share the same dream i would love to be rich and wealthy and be able to afford anything i want. I also hope to pay back my parents, my dad is a gardner and has always wanted to own a plot of land so i would love to buy him a plot of land. The only way to achieve this is hard work

How to be rich? Well, it’s easy… Just don’t be lazy in all the endeavours you are experiencing in your life. Be hard working and be determined on all the possibilities that an opportunity is heading on you. Don’t be contented but explore more opportunities to come up with a good financial stability. Lastly, have faith and put a positive side to every aspect in your life despite the problems you are experiencing every day. A good mind-set always leads to a good future. Good luck.

I think instead of saving your money you should invest it properly. You would make more money out of it. Work Hard until you save some money, where your money can make money for you. Invest it proper way. Saving Money to get rich only needs your time, Investing needs your mind.

Hats off to your attitude of shouldering your parents after your graduation(seen some people moving away from their parents after getting things from them i.e education etc.). Its not possible to become rich in quick time in a good way, I think most of you agree with this. Parents need our care and love for the whole life than anything....

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am glad to know that u have such high ambitions of becoming a rich person and i would like to say that keep your ambitions intact and work progressively harder so that u can realize your dreams and fulfill all the dreams of your parents that they have seen through your eyes. I think it is great to hear that being the youngest of the family u have been able to find time for both college and work and that is indeed great to hear and i would like to extend all the best wishes from my end. What say?

Just remember one thing. Rich doesnt mean happy.
