Just about every day someone asks "How can I get rich?" Is it not obvious that you if you save a portion of your income and invest it, over time you will accumualte wealth? That and "What business should I start?" Is it not obvious that if you are not an expert in a given area your business will almost definitely fail? Ever watch "Amercian Idol?" People who are ugly and can't sing are trying to be famous pop stars. Then they blame Simon. Same thing here. People who lack the basics want to outperform the pack. Another favorite, "How do I get a lot of money fast?" You can't and if you did you'd be broke again in no time. It's no wonder the spammers who are trying to pitch their MLM scams post here.
These people are probably stupid enough to sign up. (And Yahoo does nothing to stop them.) I go on here because I know a lot about finance and I like to help people. Doesn't happen often. Is anyone else get as frustrated as I do with these types? How do you deal with it?

Reminds me of the old Ask Jeeves q "I'm so many inches...am I big enough?". I just ignore all such questions on any topic so they don't really bother me.

Big R,
You are at Level 3. Wait until you get to Level 6 and see how annoying these repetitive questions get.
I try my best to ignore them, though I can't resist answering some of the work from home questions by answering "check the answers to the 50 billion other times this exact same question has been asked.

The people who have to ask others how to get rich are the ones who will never succeed at it.
The ones who do get rich are the ones who have the grey matter to figure it out without asking someone else how to do it for them.
I knew I wanted to make good money, and I bought and flipped a few houses, I had 5 rentals by the time I turned 25. I lived in a van when I was a teenager.
I knew what I wanted to do, and researched it.
Yeah, some of the people that wanna get rich and do, do it taking advantage of the people who aren't smart enough to do it thmselves. Thats what get rich quick schemes are all about, one guy getting rich quick off people who want to get rich quick.

Its not that I had enough of it but it is annoying. Especially the get rich quick scheme, I think its funny that people actually believe in it.
I feel that high schools should have classes that teach teenagers how to mange money. How to balance a check book and invest their money when they are young. If they are educated at a younger age they dont have to think of ways of getting rich when they are older because of their lack of money.
It is sad that people think this way, but there are worse things in life.

Imagine the irony. You try to help people out and you get a scam on your own post. Go figure.
Keep up the good fight!
