You are not looking at the whole picture. If you compare yourself with the whole world population, you are probably in the top ten percent of wealth. You can get a drink of cool water and do not live in a hut or shack. Be thankful for what you do have and you will feel beter.

The only true way to be a rich person is to be content!! If one is never content with what the have, no matter how much they make, they can never beome a rich person but a greedy person!\n\nRemember, the man who couldn't stop complaining that he didn't have any shoes until he saw another man with no feet!!

Not all wealthy people are greedy. Many people became wealthy by helping other people, and some of the wealthiest people in the world give more money away than you and I could ever dream of.  For you to assume people are greedy because they are wealthy is really an unhealthy stereotype.

Money isn't always better.  You can become a slave to it, or you can become a corporate hooker.  I think making more than you spend is everyone's goal though.

Depends on "how" you mean by rich.  If you mean financially, just look at their clothes, car, accessories, home.\n\nBut there are other ways to be "rich."  I am rich in the fact that I have two beautiful wonderful happy healthy children, I have a wonderful loving family support system, my parents live next-door as does my brother and his family.   I have a wonderful extended family that is here, we all keep in touch, all across the States.  And we have pets that we consider part of our families.\n\nYou can tell, just by the smiles on their faces.  By the fact they have people around them.

I think people who don't have great wealth desire it because they think it will bring happiness.  Sure it would be nice to live comfortably, but money does not necessarily bring happiness.  I know several millionaires from when I worked in oil & gas in Houston and they were mostly miserable souls. They fought over more & more money and worried constantly about how to keep from losing it. Their kids were on drugs and had alcohol problems in and out of rehab.  I'm basically poor, but I've never been happier at this time in my life.

Its not how much money you actually have, its all about your assets. Try picking up a personal finance book. It can get you on the road to wealth. One of my favorite authors is David Bach. He writes several books on this subject. No one can answer for you how much money you need or want. All anyone can say is what they feel THEY need to be wealthy. Besides a dollar amount of 50 million today will not be worth nearly as much as 30 years from now. Good luck on your values ladder. you'll understand when you read the book.

Generally, people are concerned more about THEMSELVES than they are about anything else. That means until you are sure the rent is paid, there's food on the table and the kids are okay, you don't pay much attention to anything else. \n\nThe rich obviously have money and with money comes power. The rich use their money to influence political agendas that benefit them, with little thought of the "everyman"\n\nAs far as WHY we entrust them, I don't believe we do.  It's just that most of us don't know how, or are too lazy or self-interested to make ourselves and our opinions heard...

Quit being so self absorbed. Nobody is jealous of you. Its all in your mind. Not everybody is jealous of you. Maybe a few. Not everybody has that much time to devote to hating you. Just ignore the few people and move on. Perhaps don't flaunt your wealth in front of them as much or brag.

Cause life's unfair... some get a lot and some get nothing at all. Situations make people that way

Only poor people who won't ever pull themselves out of the gutter think that money just magically follows certain people around. Everyone is after money, not certain people, it's just that only certain people know how to get it.

First ...who's "everyone"?\n\nSecond ...If the most people that you know think like that ...you must to do an autocheck of yourself, probably they got some reason and you'll need to start to understand that in this life ...there are more people than you babe!\n\nGood luck!

If everything you wanted switched with everyone you could afford.... you'd still want the things that you couldn't have. Its human nature. \n\n\nSomeone somewhere wants the stuff that you have, and wonders why it costs so much.
