Hi, sheanne. I dont' think that being rech is harder than being poor. You see, it is the poor who straggle in their living. Trying to get someting to afford their lives is most of what they think in their lives and so little things else. I guess most people on the earth like to be the rich. If they don't, what's for that you're getting education, working hard, etc.

Well it would seem to me that it would of course be easier to be rich. You would have no basic worries and you would be able to easily support your family and see to it that they get a good start. More money of course does mean more responsibility therefore your life maybe more stressful and you would probably not be much happier then the average folk since money does not brig happiness your whole life. In the past If you where to be wealthy you would have been guaranteed a safe pass in to the afterlife whichever one you are going for since you where able to pay your safe passages and tributes to the gods or priest. This I believe would have been hugely comforting to the aristocracy in the past

I want to be rich for a change :) Everyone got their own problem to deal with so everything is relative. At least no one is planning to kidnap me for ransom money or afraid that some gold digger or social climber will take advantage of me. Or be afraid that one day I'll wake up and all my money is gone because of some business deal gone bad.

According to me life of a poor persön is much harder than a rich persons life as a rich person is able to buy everything whereas the poor person sometimes not even able to get his 2 time food

I want to be rich! Rich people are all hardworking. They think differently than the ordinary ones. their mindset is to have lots of money and afraid to be poor. They can buy everything what they need. Do all the things that they want. But some of them are too busy to have a happy lifestyle. Its depend on the people if what they really want in life. Poor people are problematic on how to gather more money and live. They can do everything just to make money.

i think so.the life of the rich people are complicated they need to be careful when in the public because they might get kidnapped or holdap that's why most of the rich people have bodyguards wherever they go. While when you are poor you are free to move, no press following you and monitoring your actions. But if you ask me which of the two i'd rather be in the middle LOL i dont want to be poor nor rich

Hello..., What you have reason to not want to being rich? For me, the poor are no better than rich. But I don't know the wishes of others regarding this case, it's clear for me, I'd rather be rich than being poor. The reason, be poor would be easy to get..., yes by removing the walth we have. But to become rich is very difficult...hehe
