In one of my discussions, "money is life," i have read some posts saying to look at the rich people having worry-free because of money. Sorry to say, but I personally disagree. For me it's the freedom they don't have. Imagine how extra careful they have to be because people know they are rich. I would like to hear more from all mylotters. After all, I love to hear voices and read opinions. Thanks and God bless.

They also don't have other qualities: frugality, sparsity that kind of things. Compared to the average Joe in my country I am poor but compared to some here I am rich. Yet all poor people mostly share the aforementioned qualities. ;-)

It is pretty interesting to see that when people are rich, they won't have something that poor people have. For example, I read some comments that rich people are always worrying as they hunger for more money. But is it really the case? I do know many rich people who really are just free of worries. They don't worry about money and also don't worry about losing them. I don't think freedom is something that we have to give up when we get rich.

They also don't have the peace of mind. Well, I don't deny that money is important in our lives. Now, that I am able to comment on this discussion, it is also need money to pay my internet bill every month. So, I can't say that I don't need money. But what I can tell is, I need money to make my life better. To live wealthy, so that I can support my family. That's my dream. To make my family happy. ^^

Rich people and poor people have different happiness. Rich people can buy very expensive items from shop as long as they like. But they always want to keep their wealth all the time,then they will bear more pressure. Of course,everybody loving to seek free life syle,but if rich ones want to protect their wealth,they perhaps lose something.

They do not know happiness or the richness of life. They do not know family or how close they can be.

It seems be a universal principle that human beings always look after something they don't possess right now.The rich usually show their unhappiness in front of the audience regardless of a great deal of estate.But I don't think they will give up these lots of money although the anxious sense always comes along.Maybe there will be more thing for the rich to desire when they needn't worry about money.In my opinion,one can't possess all the happiness and feel comfortable all the time in their life time.The most point is that what we lay our emphasis on compared with each other.In the view of mine,lack of money or too much money are all not good choice.Perhaps being moderate is a better choice for me relatively.

Though they have limited freedom based on your opinion, what I admire about them is the fact that they have the knowledge and skill that poor people don't have. It is not because poor people or ordinary people don't have the financial resources, but because the people in the lower classes most often don't find ways in order to alleviate themselves from their current situation. I think taking risk and making the right decision is appropriate in order to be successful and have all the money like the rich ones do. A friend and business mate of mine once said that "all people who are industrious would turn out poor in the end", this statement of his truly shocked me, but thinking of it what he quoted from a well known money magnet makes sense. Think about it. :) I'm a regular student now, and we also is suffering from financial crisis at the moment but I took risk and invested on something worthwhile. And by the end of the year I'm sure I'll be reaping what I sow, and most probably give my self a pat in the back at the same time uttering "I did good, I made the right decision" and just wait for my cheque to come. :) Cheers. Happy Earning. :)

Rich people have a sense of security and stability that the poor can never have. If they are smart about money management, they have no finanical worries, but the poor do. The rich don't have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, or if they will have a place to sleep. They can buy what they want, not worrying what the cost is. Of course, money does not buy happiness, but it sure doesn't hurt, either.

a hungry stomach! that's for sure. the rich are definitely not free of worries because people, rich or poor, are all the same; we don't get contented. so no matter how much we try to suggest that the rich are unhappy because of this and that, the truth is, they probably are still happier than any poor person.

Happiness. I think that is what goes throught everybody mind when you think of a question like this. Some lack family relationship as well. They may have all the money in the world, but money don't buy happiness.
