Is it fun to be rich?

Question

It seems like it would be, but if you are rich, could you shed some light, what is your day like?

Answer 1

Actually being wealthy does have it headaches. Watching on television romanticize the wealthy. You got to worry about preserving your wealth, study investments, and a lot. Unless you are an athlete or inherit or win the lottery or any other way thats one in a million (no pun intended), it takes a lot of hard work and effort to get there. And "The Millionaire Next Store" is very real because my family are like these frugal millionaires (I am not fortunate to be a millionaire yet but watching them gave me the outlook of a good work ethic and frugal-ness). So, my friends, its is actually rare to see a Paris Hilton like millionaire. To think Donald Trump has a lot of free time is absurd because he works hard and play hard. Its not very glamarous, actually. Not being rich is a lot less headache, in my opinion.

Answer 2

I've been poor and rich.. by what standards do YOU mean..?
I have learned in life that money does not give you happiness necessarily.. When i was money well off.. it was with a high price.. abuse... then , i read a book, with a statement.. "Better a pauper in peace , than a king in contention" It made me think..
and you know what.. , truthfully i do miss the money at times, but i am happier now than I ever have been.. even if having less by society standards of wealth , yet, far more RICHER than anytime in my life. I am at peace truly for the first time in my life. Rich people i have known, are still people with problems and challenges..
just like poor people.. they only drive fancier cars and have better clothes perhaps.. but, they don't all have manners, etiquette, or morals.. Some you would never know they are wealthy beyond belief, they are humble , generous and caring..and may dress without brand labels, and don't hold to the trappings of society . Money does not make a person.. it doesn't give you joy..... nor does the lack of make you worth less... Labels people place on each other does not either. The rise and fall of fame and fortune is swift at times, and the names of stars once shinning bright is forgot.. what makes each of us is who we are and the choices we make.. the humanity and compassions to one another. I've been lucky to have great friends as teachers in life for me..

Answer 3

I walk to school in the morning, i study, come back and have 2 hours of further private tuition......ummmm.......My parents have worked very hard for their wealth and yet we still worry about money, making sure that investments don't go down the loo.....its a lot of headache and stress. We certainly did not have as much headache and stress when we were not that wealthy!

However it certainly has its good points, I'm getting the car of my dreams in a few weeks....when i go out i don't look at the price of the goods on sale.. i just buy. I get to socialsie so much more in my free periods and go out. We go on luxury holidays....always travel in first class.

But i can tell you something for free, it will never make you anymore content or happy! True happiness, not the feeling when you get a brand new car...happy for a few days then it wears off but eternal happiness is the source of real wealth.
