I want to be rich

quita88 haha well it is so kind that you compare me to your dog, I guess you point out rightly. These are excuses that people give to make them feel better for not able to achieve certain things in life. I do not want to give any excuse, I was lazy, I was blinded, I was not motivated. Now I see a different light, with a different mind. I would be able to do more things if I would be able to achieve financial freedom.

Come on it is joke, you have to have sens of humor here quita. life would be too boring even if you have a trillion dollars in the bank if you do not have a sense of humor. Yes jealous is bad, instead of motivate him to greater things, he spend his time wondering why he did not get that windfall and what did that achieve at all. I rather work my way to get some money in my bank than lament on what could have been.

It was not my intent to compare you to my dog. I was merely making a point about greed in particular.Sorry you took it that way. Excuses are many in our world. Making and keeping money is an art in my book. I just received an email from a friend complaining about both our high school friends who who both inherited land and money while he was raised poor and ended up in Viet Nam and a decorated hero who also receives benefits from our military (VA) and these two friends who never spent a second in battle or watched friends die, now look down on him for drawing money from government for fighting for our freedom. They call him a free loader. He also spent 32 years as a postman delivering our mail in heat, rain, snow, hail and nasty people, probably these two so called friends. Jealousy is nasty thing. I think my friend has earned the right to live comfortable and has never taken a dime he was not entitled to. His wounds proven he is a hero and the fact we are free points to my friend and thousands like him who gave their time to us proves he is not a free loader. As for me comparing you to my dog. It's his food he is greedy over. Just a point. As for me, my time is mine. My money is too....there just is not enough of it to share. You are right. Motivation is a skill we have to nurture and care for in order to prosper and in turn give our children the skills they will also need in their lust for wealth. Be careful with seeking financial freedom at the cost of your loved ones. Wealth is one thing but having the time with our kids , family and being together for holidays rather than working, is a time right we can lose in the end and wonder where time went. Age hits us all. Money can mold in the bank or the safe. People do die and wealth means nothing if we don't have love.

yresh12, Well the rich and poor have different mindset, one have the drive to continue to learn and push further. the other dreams of becoming rich but does not action. Hopes that fortune would smile on them and give them a windfall. However if they are not able to keep hold of the wealth and they would lose it as quickly as they got it.

Well when you focus on helping people is the way to becoming rich, not to step on people. The truly rich people would see how to serve the people. Like starting a business, they have to serve the people before the people would want o buy them. Then it would increase your wealth.

Nice one iwrite that is very deep and full of meaning. I totally agree with you. Maintain and persevere more when you're there if not continue and fighting without hurting anyone along the way.

grecychunny26, That is what Mike said too (Robert's childhood friend). However he explain it like this, the individual would work hard to earn more money and he would get a bigger house, a bigger car better things for himself and his family. (that is not thinking of others) However a business man plans to serve the community, like building house, cars so that the average people would be able to afford cheaper cars and houses. So in that sense they are helping others. And by creating a business they are creating jobs for others too. I guess you have the millionaire mindset.

am I? Hahaha, maybe of too much reading Robert Kiyosaki's books and Donald Trump. Read Why we Want you to become a Millionaire by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump too. Also read Think Big by Donald Trump and The Secrets of Millionaire's Mind by T. Harv Eker, and you will developed a millionaire mindset. However a self help books can be of help if you do a move or action to apply it to your life.

I already received your PM rod. I check out the site later

Wow, I hope you like it!

I think I would like it, while many people think these file give you nothing but I think it strengthens your mind and make you strong in way.

drannhh I just got the audio fill for "think and grow rich", after I listen to file I would perhaps learn something, and start another discussion and see how it can help other understand more. Cheers.

dorannmwin I took a look at your post again and again before I decide what to reply. Well I am what they call the middle class, however I am living paycheck to paycheck. Today my pay comes in I am paying for next months bills. So I am not sure where I really stand in your description. But I make not bone about wanting to become rich, I am not sure how I would become but I hope to remain generous on my part.

dorannmwin I have nothing to flaunt my friend, however I want to move up. that is where I belong.

Our family isn't in the classification of the poorest of the poor either. We have to struggle to get by at times and other times we are doing okay and we are able to have plenty of extras. So, I think that you and I are pretty much in the same boat. I think that what I was saying is that the richest people and many in the middle class aren't always trying to flaunt their status.

justg26 The point is everyone wants to be rich but not that many actually plans to be rich. But fail to plan, or even if they plan, they feel they cannot fail, yet failure is the mother of all success. We all wants to be rich but do you have a plan to be rich? While it sound like an easy thing to do, people fear fail and think their plans are not good and do not act on it because they fear failing. that is why most of us remain poor of middle class. you have the plan decide but the rich.

justg26 For a young lady you are pretty mature about your thinking, it is true that people are afraid of failing and falling. A child would have not fear in learning to ride a bike as they are not afraid to fall a few times, however when we come to become teenages, you tend to wonder what your friends think. Then as a young adult you would not like to be falling. As you grow older you give yourself the excuse as you are too old to learn, just because we do not like to be embarrass. I think you would do a good job and I really hope to see a top candidate in you. maybe next time you would offer me discount when I check my teeth?

Well, failure is always a part of every success story... what people fail yo do is accept that as a fact. Should use failures as the drive to do things again and succeed the next time. People should also know that there is no fast way to get rich (unless you win the lottery, of course, but even this you have to try and try several times) as all should be earned the hard way. I do plan to get rich.. and I started by finishing college... soon I'll top the board exam (I'm praying) and land a good job and make a good career. Yet I also want to study more and enrich myself in other stuffs other than dentistry.

zandi458, God have set aside enough for everyone, however would you be able to seize the opportunity that appears in front of you. Now would you set a plan with an open mind, and grab the opportunities that comes your way.

daeckardt Well I have been working full time for more than 10 years, my salary have increase by more 3 time over that period, however I find myself barely staying ahead of my bills. I thought I been doing well in life. Then one day I sat down, thinking about my future and look and my parents. I became a little frighten. My parents are not able to retire and when come to my time how can I stop working, my bills would continue to come and if I do not have salary then I think my offspring would have to suffer to burden to take care of me and my wife. So I need to find way to get passive income.

krajibg That is the problem with most people, they do not have a plan, I am not the expert here, I am just using the words of Robert T Kiyosaki. (For he is the millionaire and I am not. I hope at the end of the day, I could become.) Accord to robert you need to have a plan to become rich and not a plan NOT to become poor. I hope you can come up with your plan to become rich. If you like to have the audio tape I can upload it for you. Cheers.

I knew it was a quote but what I said was my own view. I think all those who aspire to become rich do plan before they are on the act. Yes I have an audio tape player. If you not mind you can upload it. Thanks.

Angelgirl16 Thanks for the kind word, I have not succeeded, however when I do I know who to thank it for. I have purchase some of his books, however his audio tapes are not easier found in Singapore. I have some borrowed or share with friends who actually had them. You are right talk is cheap, the first time I heard him I thought this guy is full of bs. The does not give you any hard skills to get you the money. And he keep comparing his poor dad and rich dad and seem to me like he was insulting his poor dad and general me and my parents. However when I listen it with an open mind, things starts to fall in place. We live from day to day but they plan for things to happen. Perhaps it would benefit them, but it definitely would benefit me too. If you are interested to listen to it I can upload it for you.

tomitomi I guess there is a thin line between greed and drive, some people are driven to succeed, while greed would usually blind people to fail. I hope people can find the drive but be careful when they go overboard it becomes greed. Yes I am trying to learn more from him after all he is the millionaire, we should get a mentor and try to learn from them. He took 9 year to become financially free, I hope I would be able to do it within 10 years. So do you have your plan yet?

tomitomi It is ok, as long as we keep moving forward. then at the end of the day you would not live without regrets.

Absolutely right. I wasn't focused in my plan for the past few years because of injury and health problems. I would have to review my plan again and restart working on it.

gdvicente You would be surprise the number of people who would tell me they do not want to be rich, and the excuses they give are like "rich people are greedy", "rich people have no real friends", "Rich people have more problem" It is they do not believe in the choice in life. They are defeated in their minds.

Seawolf666, I am not a millionaire (yet) and if you take my advice you might not get there, however I have some audio files if you like sent me a message and I can pass it to you. I wish you well in seeking what you want. However first you have to work on a plan, see how you intend to get rich.

julian17 haha I was not lucky enough to be born with the golden spoon, I could not find a rich girl to marry and I am married. Do not have the luck to win some money. I do not steal. And I and working on it. I like your quote. I am working to have a better tomorrow.

reckon21, I want to set a 10 year plan, just like Robert T Kiyosaki did. However be managed in 9 years. Now it is not lick but determination that would be the guide to bring it far. The road would be tough and bumpy, but if I stick to the plan and work hard on it. I guess greed appear not just to the rich or poor but all of us including the middle class. However it is how you are able to reason and strong enough to resist the temptation.

paula27661 What is I put it in another way, do you want to be financially free, meaning you do not have to worry about money. you would able to decide to leave the country to help a friend, relative some with some organisation without have to look at your bank account to decide what you can or cannot do? I mean that is what I want, and at the same time I do not have my daughter to have a burden to have to take care of me when I am old and not able to work.

Well ehsanji, I think the reaction would be different if I use the word financially free, not having to worry about money. I do not have good sleep sometimes when I think of the bills I have to pay. So times money is just not enough when my daughter wants to go travel, which I think is the best form of education for her. She can learn more faster and easier. I think we can find creative ways to get around, however it is the life that you desire.

hardworkinggurl, I also enjoy your entry to my discussion, as you always either bring new prospective or give the discussion a more in depth view. and once again you are right, a poor person with lots of love may feel rich. As they have live their life to the full not matter what the situation around them.

catycat1985 while it is true nobody wants to be poor, but not everyone plans to get rich. Because it is either too hard or too risky. Because as you rightly stated, (while there are exception) nobody really gets rich being an employer, however nine in ten business fail, and trading and investing is deem too risky. So who in the place actually plans to get rich and how do you plan to get rich?

edwardjoy2000, Well good for you I hope you are able to benefit from the master. I have heard some of his earlier works and at that time I was not mature enough and though hey this guy is full of bs. Give a load of advice which most of our parents are able to give. After listening again, I was think hey he is insult our intelligence and our parents. but after a few tries, I realise it is our mindset that needs to change.
