Financial Stability?

Question

Why are some people rich and have never worked and some such as myself have always worked or at least until I became sick and are poor?

Answer 1

Some people are just lucky. They are the ones who have won the lotto, or hit it big through some sort of get rich quick scam. Others are born rich. Some people work extremely hard and have goals that they set and stick to. They budget and do not worry about trends. These people make themselves rich.

Then there are people like us. People who live for today. Work hard today, spend high tomorrow.

So basically it is either you are born rich, get lucky, or budget.

Answer 2

It's about money management, and having your money work for you. If you own a house for example, you can rent that house out. Since you already own the property, that's money that you don't have to work to get. It's called passive income. If you're really interested in this topic, i recommend picking up some of the books by Richard Kiasake (it might be spelled different). It's a really popular book called 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'.

Answer 3

Some of it is luck -- how smart you are, who your parents are, and what breaks you might have gotten along the way.

However, many people get rich by hard work, too. Bill Gates is very, very rich, and he is still hard at work. I'm sure he works harder than I do.

Answer 4

Because life is not fair - haven't you heard that. Actually it is fair and Karma is working here. In your passed life you probably were a rich lazy bustard, so you have to work it all off in this life...
Cheer up - your next life should be better..

Answer 5

a lot of the rich people I know are ***** and take advantage of people. my boss just cut someone's pay at work for no reason (besides to put more in his own pocket). he gets rich, his employees get poor.
