Everybody wants to get rich on the Internet, I know I do, and I'm doing my best to meet that dream. My question is what would you find more satisfying. Getting rich over night, the easy way, or getting rich with hard work and over a longer period of time? Me, I believe in hard work and not looking for a magic bullet. What about you?

Becoming rich overnight has a few short term positive effects, but since I wouldn't have earned it, I wouldn't respect it as much and would probably blow it. I also don't want to work until I'm so old I can't enjoy life. Personally I like the idea of working hard for a long term residual income.

That's actually exactly what I think. That I would spend the quickly earned money and I would soon be in the same possition I was before. That's why I always recommend hard work instead.

i don't knoe about that dilemma. either way is okay for me. i definitely wouldn't mind getting rich over night but i think even if that happens i would still work hard, coz i think getting rich is one way of being rich, staying rich is another story, wouldn't you say? but i think if a person gets rich the hard way, he would be able to appreciate it more and would have less possibility of losing the money. :)

I would go for easy way for easy money if it's not breaking any laws. I don't have to break my neck working.Seriously, there's no such thing as easy money. One has to work to get it. Work hard, and a little luck is the way to richness!

Don't get me wrong I would absolutely love getting rich overnight and being able to invest it all and live off that, but I feel much better knowing I work very hard for my money. I work long hours mostly every day and it is definitely not easy money but I definitely end up making quite a good amount of money. I always dream of winning the lottery but I will probably never buy a lottery ticket. It would always be nice to get rich overnight but I am happy with how much I make now :)
