The wealthy are that way either due to inheritance or a driving desire to earn money that is honestly more entertaining to most of them than spending money is.

To earn money, you either need a lot of business sense, a good sense of risk, and a very strong work ethic, or you need a great education, a very solid job, and a very strong work ethic.

Basically, if you have to make your own fortune, you have to work very hard for it. I know men who are nothing compared to Bill Gates, but still worth millions of dollars and rich enough to live in very nice houses, drive nice cars, buy plasma TVs for every room, and take vacations every year. These guys all have a few things in common. They work over 60 hours a week, they know how to manage their money and are willing to spend a lot of time making sure they invest right, and they don't buy nearly as much stuff as they could.

What is money these days? An "IOU" from 5 European banks that they'll never have to pay. When you borrow from them you pay with your time, your labor, sometimes even your life.
Stay out of debt.
I love money as well but we must remember Federal Reserve Notes are a fraud. The moment a President or the Fed says a currency is worthless, it is. None of it is backed by gold anymore so you would turn in those bills for nothing in return. Hide them in a box and they turn to dust.
Bill gates has a lot of what? Stock? I doubt he keeps his wealth in cash. Thing is, the moment the right person says his stock is worthless it is. Remember companies like Enron in 2001? I'm sure he diversifies though.
Bill Gates could burn money for a living and never go broke. That's impressive. You must wonder what evil deed he's done for "them" to let him get so incredibly rich. Let us remember he sends a representative to the secretive Bilderberg meetings each year.
I think Gates knows what it really takes to be happy. He spends lots of time working on charity. He sits with the brokest and richest people in the world. You don't need money for that. Gates gets his happiness from doing things for others without expecting to reciprocate. Consider doing the same.
In the end money never buys happiness but poverty and debt buys misery. Find the middle ground and do for others.

If you are bored, it's because you have become alienated from life, from your real self and the world. This is not a natural condition. Consider children. They are naturally interested in everything around them. They don't need money to have fun. Life to them is endless fascination--unless they become corrupted.

Incidentally, Bill Gates has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more money than he could ever begin to use. Do you have to be the richest man in the world in order not to be bored with life?

Bill gates? riches come in all shapes and sizes and 100 dollar bills is not what I mean. Looking into some one`s eyes and connecting with the spirit inside, connecting with the excitment of life within another.........

There are two ways:

1) invent or create something that most people are willing to pay a little money for.

2) provide services to the rich that enhance their lives and make them more wealthy.

You can do services like perhaps helping the unfortunate ones. They really needed our help. Sometimes having so much money in our pockets doesn't mean we can be happy. Sometimes, we may be rich, but we end up needing for some more. More than money could give.

Well, you may not have the time or talent for implementing suggestions about new inventions/discoveries....

So, the next best suggestion will be to get Bill Gates to ADOPT you...Good Luck!!!
