Why is it so easy to get rich if you are working on a job that is illegal than to get rich on a job that is legal and honest? I see some on television that those people who have cars, have big house and can tour around the world are those people who work very hard on a job that is honest and legal. They don't have a decent income for their needs. They are still hoping to increase the salary. Even if they work hard, money is not enough for them. The world is unfair.
I have encountered also a person graduated as a programmer and knows all about computers. He cheated google, but google didn't know that they were been cheated by that person because he knows all the programs in a computer. I would say that he is an expert programmer. Now, he stop doing it because he got bored. He just said he got bored so he stop doing it. Even if he doesn't want to do it anymore, he has already taken his family to a vacation trip and have a house on their own.
As for me, I stuck here thinking of a ways to earn a decent income. Honestly speaking, I envy him. I just can't take out of my mind of what he said and I was really curious of how he did it.
I envy him a lot. I know it is a sin to feel this way, but I can't help it.

I absolutely agree with u on that. It's easy money whenever it comes to illegal things. WHy? Because the risk is high. It's just like playing the stock market, the higher the risk, the more one will profit.
Illegal things and work are hard to come by, and there are not much people willing to do it. So demand for those workers are high, and thus they are being paid well. However, the price of being caught, is even higher too. It all depends on our luck. Always remember, easy money comes, and it can go easily too.
Don't be tempted.

I am not going to work on illegal job... ha ha ha... even if I was tempted a hundredth times, but I am not going to do it. Deep within me, I know it is a sin and I know it is wrong. I know in my conscience that tells me what is "right" from "wrong"...... Maybe the reason why I tempted is because I focus in too much money. I know it is wrong. It is better to work hard to earn a decent income than to do a job that is illegal.

For one thing, they are not paying taxes on the money that they make. If they are doing something like selling stolen goods, they make a lot of money because they didn't pay anything for the product. Then you have to keep in mind that they charge high prices for things because they always have a chance of getting caught and going to jail. Sin or no sin, would you really want to risk going to prison to make a little bit more money?

I do not want to go to jail. I was thinking about the money, the pleasures, the luxuries they have on life. The satisfaction and contentment they have with the money and I wasn't thinking of what they have on job if it is illegal or legal. I envy those people who get rich easily either he or she is working on a job that is legal or illegal, but most of all, I really do not understand why those people that are in the illegal job got lots of money than those people who work hard on a decent and honest job.
Some people wasn't thinking the money because they were conscious and aware the type of job people had working. For me, if people thought about the money, they might won't even bother if the job they working is illegal or legal.

Your question is very interesting.
It is very true that illegal way of earning gives more money. But the fact is, illeagal job or legal job does not deal with leatting you earn more. It is the risk factor, that decides the level of income. Higher is the risk higher is the gain. And as illegal activities involve very hig risks, so more money is involved. Now here risk may be of any thing, risk of losing the money that was put in, risk of life, risk of being put behind the bars, etc. Think and you get you answer.

You know the saying, life is not fair, the world is not fair, there are a LOT of people who became rich because of doing illegal trades and SOME doesn't get caught. And those SOME are the lucky ones. It's like love, some guys cheat but they always get the good looking girls and the others who are very faithful are dumped by the girls they are courting, Company owners become rich but their employees don't. I guess we just have to accept the fact that life is like that. I wonder when will utopia be realized but that would just be a dream. A dream is a dream because it doesn't come true. and don't say that life is short because life is the longest thing a person could attain, even breathing because sometimes we hold our breath. :)

It is because when you are doing illegal works, the risk at stake is very high that's why you get paid an amount so high you get rich faster than normal. And when it is illegal, the tendency is that you do it secretly thus, no one can control how much money you want to accumulate by earning so. And when it comes to money, greed is present especially when you can easily find a way to get it. Doing illegal works will pave the way to that. Only, the price that one needs to pay for doing it is even grreater or higher than the amount he accumulated. It could be his reputation or worse the life of his loved ones and/or his...
So, it is still better to keep that hard earned honest money we have. There's more important things than money.:)

Ultimately, it will just be you and your conscience. If you've been brought up rightfully, I'm sure it would be difficult to sleep at night if you know that you've gained wealth illegally. Same as it would be easy for people who have no moral compass to cheat other people of their money.
So, I don't think it's easy. I'm not saying I am morally upright, but I think it just looks easy because we don't hear about the people who are battling with their conscience. Or the people who have been caught are already in jail.

It's easy to get rich with illegal actions,because you don't pay taxes and such.Because when you have a legitimate job you work for 40 bucks a day,and when it's illegal you do it for 4000,it's mostly because it's pure profit,like with hoes,it doesn't take any investment,you don't pay anything,with opiats you have to make an investment,but opiats have a bigger market :)

i dont know but the most easy way is illegal and so tehy make you a sinner.
do not get involve on that thing, it should be a very nice start if you earn income coming from good source. your concience is good also, and you will not have problems in the future. if you go on straight path, god will reward you good things and he will make your finances stable.
