Rich are get richer....?

Question

Is the rich really get richer and the poor get poorer??
Are you better off today than you were last year this time?

Answer 1

Yes, the rich really are getting richer, while *everyone* else, poor or not, working or not, gets poorer.

And no, I'm not better off. I'm worse off actually than I was last year at this time. Thing of it is, *it's been like that for at least six years now*. Each year things get a little worse.

I can't be the only one in this boat. Sorry. Yes I have problems and issues of my own, but you know what? At some point you *do* stop blaming yourself and start to look at the wider society.

And right now, the wider society is really *really* just too screwed up.

And that, as they say, is the polite version. ^_^

Thanks for your time. ^_^

Answer 2

It all depends on how they invest their money. The rich usually get richer faster because they have more to invest and a lot of poor people don't know how to invest or just don't want to. Also I am better off now because, I just invested in a home so now I'm putting money into an investment rather than wasting it on rent.
