Would you want to be very rich? Would you want to have enough money to buy all the things you want at the time you want? well, I don't think I'd want to be very rich. I have to confess that I would like to have more money than I have. But I think that the fun of our lives is to dream and to "fight" to get what we want. If I were rich, I wouldn't feel the emoction of wanting so much something, and this thing wouldn't have the value that would have if I had to "fight" to get it.

I used to earn a lot of money doing freelance film production.. I've never had a problem working hard for my money. And I'm proud of my achievements. The only thing that made me stop is that I didn't have time to enjoy life.. I guess if you are rich, and you are able to have the time to spend it and enjoy life.. I think it would be the best thing that would happen. Right now I stopped that job, and I'm working pay slips by pay slips.. but I'm still happy.. I guess it depends how you perceive or whether you want to feel contented with your life or not.

I don't wanna be a hypocrite. I wanna be rich. I've been dreaming of this for all my life so if I was given the chance to become rich then why not. I came from a family that can afford to go to school, can afford to buy a car but my mom has to work a lot in order to get these. Sometimes, she has to borrow money in pays them partially. So I thought to myself that I wanted to be rich someday so we will not experience this anymore. If we're going to buy an expensive stuff, we can pay it in cash and not in partial.

I reckon anyone would rather have more money than they already have. Right now my partner and I have very little money coming in and the bills need to be paid, so for us we would love to be able to pay off all our debts and the mortgage on the house too. However, we would not want millions, just enough to live comfortably without worries and, of course, we would still have our dreams

Hmmmm.... I would like to become rich in the sense that I can buy what I want and do not have to worry about sickness. I don't think there is anything wrong with being very rich as long as you are happy with it.

no i don't want to be VERY rich, but i want money to live happily and to fulfill my ambitions. When you become more and more richer you will be isolated from the society as most of the common man in the society are not reacher than you.

Yes I do want to be very rich. Because I was broke for nearly a year and I hated it because I couldnt buy anything or go out anywhere. But with a lot of money I would be able to buy all of the things I love. I wouldnt have to wait to buy a certin videogame I could buy it when it comes out. I could buy a bowling alley because I love to bowl and I would never have to worry about being broke.

Not at all. All I would like is to be comfortable. To have money to survive without struggling. To have money to be able to splurge once in a while... but not ridiculously. I wouldn't want to have more money than I knew what to do with. I'd just like comfort.

I wouldn't mind being rich. I wouldn't go blabbing to everyone that I'm rich.

Would be a hypocrite though if I say I dont want to be rich. Of course having money is having more advantage and not worrying how to pay for what you spend and also the chance to help others or build your own worthy cause. If given a chance, yes I would accept to be rich with a big open arms.

I agree with you, we put more value to the things we worked hard for. In the other hand if we work hard enough and we become rich, we would also value our accomplishment. If this was my case, I'm would use the money I had to make others happy, luxury is something materialistic and after we die it will stay here, instead I would use the money to help others: fight hunger, build houses for the homeless, donate for medical research, etc. I believe God gives you the tools to help others, if we are selfish we only accumulate riches here in this life. I would rather be rich spiritually in the eyes of God.

True. Do I want to be rich yes. DO I want to be famous? heck no. I want to be able to go and dow hatever I want without being bothered. But at the end of the day, It's not what i would choose. Money nice to have, but I would be scared to have alot of mney like that. Like the saying goes, "mo money mo problems". I would be happy to have enough money where i can live comfortable in a new modest home and never have to worry about running out and paying bills. :)

I think everyone would want to be rich, everything just comes to, how would you live your life, if you became rich, or how did you became rich , have you gone to illegal things for you to reach that stage? So, it's just that, ofocarse, I want to be rich, but I would also want to earn the money on my own way, my giving my best, and giving my efforts to what I should do.. example, study hard and work hard

I don't want to be rich, I would like to earn money for life without a lot of problems. The money can't take the happiness, there are other things that take the happiness in our hearts.

You're right. I've heard some rich people say that it's more fun to buy things when you've saved up to buy them, as opposed to being able to buy whatever you want becuase you have the money. Well... I still would love to be loaded and what I mean by loaded is I would love to be a millionaire. hehe. I'm a very ambitious person. I don't believe that money buys happiness but I do believe that having money is fun.

Hello there. I would love to be comfortably rich. I am not asking to be very rich. I just want to be comfortably rich. I want to be rich enough to allow my mommy to retire. Rich enough for me not to have to worry about not having enough money to pay bills and etc. It's very tiring to work for money. I love working but I want to work for leisure and interests and not money.

I don't think i want to be very rich.All what I would liketo have is house, car maybe some businees and just stability, but not really to have money all the time to buy something what i want.i think i would be stuck like that and the life would be boring and i would no more be probably trying to do something for me, becuase i would be bored from all those money.And yeah you are right we wouldn't feel emoctions of wanting something and dreaming about something.

Hum, this is a tough question. I wouldn't want to be VERY rich, just a little bit rich, if there is any such thing. Just enough money to be able to enjoy the luxuries in life would be lovely! I'm not greeady, and if I had lots of money, all I would do is buy shoes and that would drive my husband mad! I just would like enough money to pay the bills, and be able to have a good time with the money left over. Is that too much to ask?

I would love to be rich because than I could take care of my current financial stresses and then help people less fortunate than me become wealthy as well passing on the legacy of using the wealth to do the same for those they find less fortunate than themselves. This way we could be rich in spirit because the feeling of helping others in need is priceless in my eyes.
