With the economy in such crisis are you looking to still get rich or is it just a means of survival? Has what's gone on taken your drive away? Let me know how you feel.

To be truthful I've never really wanted to be rich. What I've always wanted was to get my career started and be successful at it. That's what I really want and if I do get rich because of my career then that would be a plus but getting rich is not one of my goal and it's not the most important thing in live. As long as you have a job that pays the bills and you have enough to indulge yourself every once in a while then that's good enough. With this economy now, my drive right now is to get my career started as soon as possible. I'm working harder on my novel and trying to finish it as soon as possible and am trying to get better at acting, dancing, and singing so I can do something with those skills. Have a nice day.

The people who set out to be rich and not do what they love are the biggest problem in the US. Why not set out to help people, to balance the power, to wake up the US, to educate the poor, to lower the birth rate, too much focus on money and its killing us. Getting rich should never be someone's goal. If happens doing a needed service or something you enjoy, awsome. But having the greed gene before its even a possibility is a bad sign. Those people will most likely become corrupt politicians. 10% of the population holds 90% of the wealth. Id say getting rich by today's standards is near impossible since the money doesnt trickle down, it sits in bank accounts.
