I don't think that being rich is everything. Whats the point if you are rich and you don't have your love and happiness with you. I know that if you are rich you can buy everything you want to have but right now how you are you should be satisfied with it and try to work hard and then without being rich you can surely achieve everything. I too have dreams to be rich and have a big house thats beautiful with a swimming pool outside and stuff but I know that right now I am small and cannot get that but I believe in myself that when I grow I can get that and many more things if I work hard. So you too can achieve whatever you want by working hard and keeping faith in yourself that you can do it and you will do it.So, have a nice day!!

Look, rich people didn`t become rich overnight, and they only have everything materialistically. You only see the good stuff on TV because they make it sound great and perfect, but that`s not the reality of life. And the founders of all those amazing companies of the wealthy were created by smart and creative people...lucky for the kids who were born under so much wealth and glamour. So instead of feel sorry for yourself because you`re not one of them, keep working hard, maybe you have it to create something really powerful that can be inherited to other generations...but stop complaining!

Thank you a lot for responding to my post. I really appreciate it. But I am not complaining here about anything. I didn't say that being rich is not good or you should not be rich. I really think that people who are rich did a lot hard work to achieve what all they have now and are doing to achieve more and we need to learn something from them. And on the whole as you said they lead a glamorous life and thats good but sometimes they also go through many problems related to their personal life. So they need to manage their glamorous life as well as personal. I too want to be very rich but I know right now I really can't be because I am still young but I believe I can be rich and lead that glamorous life because I have the capability of doing that hard work that I have seen from my hard work I have done now. And indeed everybody can become rich if they have the confidence in themselves. HAVE A NICE DAY!

Well...I defeniatly think people can be happy without being rich. But the plans I have, the things that would make me happy, would call for quite a bit of money. I want to start a nonprofit, and everyone knows that costs a lot of money, and the one I have in mind defeniatly would cost A LOT. lol.

I don't think being rich makes you happy. It might for awhile but I really do think people appreciate things more when they are hard come by....I think it is the little things in life that makes us happy, I really wouldn't want to be rich unless I could give it all away...I like true friends and true feeling and I would hate to think people liked me just because of my money which does happen.

well being rich you are happy because you can buy everything but somehow you cannot be contented and you ask for more.money i believe is a work by devils.when you have so much money and you cannot do right things or good in yourself or to others you it leads to sadness.become rich is not the root to happiness.sharing what you have makes them you happy."true happiness cannot buy by money".
