The single most accurate predictor of financial status is the financial status of the parents. Since merit is not an inheireted quality, this would seem to indicate that better jobs are "bought" ... through influence, access to better education, etc.

People who have very little often do not get enough nourishment, have health problems that don't get treated due to lack of money. They can't afford to travel and go to school so they tend to have less education.\n\nSome people who come by money are affected by the power of money. They learn they can do things they could not before. They sometimes get careless with their morals or take risks and get into trouble that might not have happened before.\n\nThen there are others who are so grateful for their new found fortune they work hard at finding ways to make their money count for the good of others. They start foundations that pay tuition for students to go to higher education. They begin or fund charities. They donate to expand hospitals.\n\nSo, there are two sides of the coin and the deciding factor is the character of the individual....

The only people who get rich are the people selling you those things.  They package information that you can get yourself if you do a little homework.

They didn't work for their wealth?\n\nYour an idiot, lots of extremely wealthy have earned by creating something very important. So think about those people, what they created, and imagine your life without those things

Those people lead boring lives and tend to be retarded and shallow.

~Duh, just a guess.  The ones who make money easily spend all of their time on YaHoo Answers, and the ones who are industrious, hard working, loyal, innovative employees with more than a modicum of intellegence, are always getting screwed.

I'd like to think they are just not well educated about economics in general and therefore don't know how to answer you. And when you start asking legit questions they can't answer, they look dumb and try to take the spotlight off of them using brilliant, mature tactics such as "You hate poor people."

because peta is a band of rich people with nothing better to do and since rich people aint that smart, they sometimes overlook the big issues.

Depend... on how you handle it. Most people suffer because they let the money to control them. Super successful people but also happy with their lives know how to turn this around. They're the ones who control money instead of letting the money to control them.\n\nSo, yeah, it causes evil but it's also can bring happiness.\n\nPS: Anyway, some people are just workaholic or unsatisfied with their job. Money has nothing to do with their misery. <my answer to hillbillybloodshed>

Often, not always, welathy think their material wealth makes them inherently better people.  Often the opposite is true.  Many times wealthy demonstrate more character flaws than do middle class working individuals.  If your car ever breaks down it won't be a rich person who stops and helps--it will be a middle class or poor person.  I walked out of a shopping mall to find I had a dead battery late one night and I asked a nice BMW owner for a jump (i had cables in my trunk.)  He shook his head and said, "No."\n\nIn a poetic twist of fate that only O. Henry would appreciate, about two weeks later I drove past this guy while he was getting out of his car with a blown out tire.  It was late one evening and I was returning from a high school basketball game that had just ended.  I stopped to help him and I recognized him immediately.  He thanked me for stopping.  Once I saw him and laughed and reminded him of his refusal to help me with my dead battery.  He apologized and said he was in a hurry that day.  I smiled and said, "What do you know.  I'm in a hurry tonight.  Good luck, Pal."\n\nYes, I know I was just like him.  But perhaps for the first time in his life he understood how the shoe felt on HIS foot.  I may have helped him more by leaving him deserted on that lonely stretch of road than I could have ever helped him by changing his spare tire for him.

Anybody who makes that kind of money will be materialistic at one time or another. Not only Doctors. I know doctors who dedicate their life to people who need help and their selfless constributions are most often taken for granted. So, not only doctors are materialistic, people who are not rich can be super wannabes too.

Nothing, people put too much emphasis on money. It gives them an excuse to accept their life isn't perfect.

Because they like fame and power - maybe some people think than they can make a difference and help people - but they are either very few or get lost along the way.\n(Or maybe they can't hold a real job!!)

u know its suprising but, its not the wealthy ones but the ones who are rich from before that dont really respect money that much, while those who face hardships and earn money and are now rich that respect money and understand its worth. Thats why the donate to the needy cause they know what it means.

unmotivated people.  I have encountered people that I once thought were dumb but given the opportunity and platform to voice there opinions were actually much brighter than once anticipated.  We have to understand that a lot of people out there have either a lot of book sense or a lot of common sense but unfortunately don't have a very good mix of both.  I err on the side of common sense but when motivated can be very intellectual or better put will showcase my knowledge.  So I definitely think this is a motivational issue.  And if it is money that is the motivational factor which I suspect it very well is in most situations then until some is paid what he/she feels they are worth you won't see their true abilities.  To a side note though,  I do feel that too many people get jobs based on who they know rather than what they know.  Welcome to the spectrum- where does your light shine though?
