HAve you dreamed of becoming rich? I always have a spot at the back of my mind for dreaming of becoming rich someday- rich enough for me to tour around the world with my entire family, rich enough to guarantee a spot on the best universities all over the world up to my grand grand children... Rich enough to pay the debt of the philippines over the World Bank, rich enough to buy my entire country and run it properly. Thats how rich i want to become.. what about you? how rich is rich enough for you? any fancy dreams?

I also have been dreaming and thinking of this most of the time, but I guess that would be a far-fetched goal to be achieved.
It's not that I'm giving up or having doubts on my capabilities, but I just thought that maybe it would be better to be rich in health and that we are able to make a good, normal life. I don't even know if I can handle too much money,on how to spend it if ever I possess such great amount of it. And that things will only be more complicated for me, so I always try to make myself more contented on what I have or had!.)

wow, this is really a nice answer- very down to earth. But i do understand your point... health is indeed wealth and we should give the best care for it no matter what- like they all say- prevention is better that cure... and its nice that you try to make yourself more contented with what you have, but i have to say- it really is a struggle. =)

It is indeed!;) It's just how we try to make things more easy for us, and not the other way around. Complications are a part of our living, but the way we deal with it is what makes the difference..
I'm still hoping to fulfill some of my dreams, and I would be more thankful if that ever happens!;)
Thanks..

Well, who else would not dream of becoming rich anyway? lol. I do and I wanted to be wealthy so that I can afford to travel in the wonderful places around the globe, and being able to buy things I wana buy. But these are only the material things. True happiness wouldn't rely on the material dreams alone. If I want to become rich, I also want to share something to the needy. THat can be in a form of donations and charity works. Being able to help them is one thing that I am sure of whenever I become rich. I don't want to dream of the things which I know is unachieveable. Being able to travel even in London, or any places I'd like to go is for me achievable also. Like you raijin, if given a chance to fulfill all my dreams in life, why not, right? :)

I think being so rich that you have no friends and family hates you is too rich. I mean money cannot buy you the happiness that family and friends can.

I think you can never get RICH enough once you've earn a decent amount of money...you just always want more because richer hyou get, more expensive your taste gets...designer clothing, expensive clothing, big house, big cars, it simply never ends.... don't get me wrong, gettting rich would be nice ...but how rich is rich enough for me is a hard question to ask considering I don't think anyone could be ever rich enough...

I want to become rich enough to remove poverty and umemployment. If you have more money and if you say something, your words will be taken without any opposition. So money plays a major role in all the happenings. I want to do to my family as well my country, so that my country INDIA becomes a developed country

Rich enough for me is being able to never have to leave bills unpaid, having the house I want to live in and having the people whom I want to live with living with me, and being able to travel whenever I choose. Debt would no longer be a worry, and I could use my time totally as I choose.

Yah....everyone dreaming it of, and in my own opinion I believe richness is not depending only of what you have succeeded in life. Maybe you have it all but neglected other means that makes you really rich. I'am about to say
that I'am rich in a manner that I have a contented life barrying with having a stable Job niether a business, a wonderful family, friends looking up to, good health and
God centered. Just like this I'am rich in my own way....and also more happier than i could ever be.....:-)

You know if you look upon being rich as having a lot of money or material possessions you will never be rich because you will never have enough. Rather look at being rich in terms of being happy and achieving happiness and contentment. no amount of money or material possessions can make you rich. Being rich is knowing you have people in your life who love and cherish you and knowing that your life is fulfilled. Material possessions and money people can take from you but love and happiness no one can ever take away from you.

Who hasn´t dreamed of being rich? lol.
I don´t need to be too rich. I would like to have enough money to buy a good sized chunk of land and build a house for myself, plus leave land for houses to my sons. I would like to not have to worry about where we are going to get the cash to pay for food each month and I would like to be able to fly to Canada at least once a year as well as at least one other location in the world, with my children and husband.
Oh, and I want to be rich enough to have my own personal, two story library with a fireplace, sliding ladder and a great big desk with a green lamp! :)

Everytime I come into a substantial amount of money I tend to give it away and that's what satisfies me. Giving someone something they wouldn't have otherwise or donating to charity.
So if I were to become rich, I would make sure I would make sure I could live on it for the rest of my life. I would travel to England and Ireland. I'm a direct descendant of the 2nd Earl of Normandy, so I would be going and touring anywhere that has to do with my heritage :) I would also go to Hawaii with my husband and make sure my mom's bills were paid for the rest of her life. :)

Rich for me was having couple of true friends believed in me. Family that supported me all the way and a partner that loves me forever. It doesn't mean I'm rich if I got tons of money or not... hey! money can come and go and I'm used to it. Loved ones I cannot... I'm proud of being sufficiently rich! :)

yes, everytime, i dreamed and wished to be rich so that i could help my family and poor people who really need help. to upbring the kind of life we have now so that all of us may taste a life kings & queens have. rich enough to make my country economically / financially stable. no more foreign debts, enough resources to fund and create jobs so that our countrymen will never be longer enslaved by other countries.
