Money might buy a lot of stuff, but the richness of family and friends, cannot be purchased by money.  I've been both and now I"m poor and happier than I've ever been in my life - my health is gone, but I have peace, joy, hope, a wonderful husband, a great son, and a family that rallies round in prayer and support.  All my past dollars couldn't buy my health, couldn't buy me peace or joy, a good husband, couldn't have turned my son into a great young man, or caused my family to rally - so if you have chosen to leave the money and gain the greater things in life, then you have chosen well!

sounds like someone has an economics exam coming up. \nProbably has something to do with employment rates and consumerism.   the ability of the population to keep the economy rolling, by having positive cash flow.

A man who puts his family before everything.  I respect a person more like that.  And people that are like middle class and lower, are typically more happy.  It may not seem so, but think about how stressed you would be if you had all that money.  Things are not what they appear to be sometimes.

I think your asking how can you have paid out more than your share of taxes.  If so then it means that either your employer has put you in the wrong tax bracket or your being taxed at a higher rate than what you should be for your income.  There is nothing wrong with doing this as you will get the difference back, just a question of money now or money later.

It means that when you put your money in the bank, that you are earning money, not only by interest, but later it is money that you would not otherwise had.

Rich is a subjective word. Do you mean rich as in a net worth of one million dollars, one million dollars in 2005 dollars, or do u mean more like 15 million or more?\n\nRich is defined by the individual or surounding individuals. If one man with a net worth of 150,000 walks into a homeless shelter to help, the people there may look at him as being rich, although if the same man walked into the Chicago Board of Trade (Which I believe still holds the record for having the largest number of millionaires per square foot) he would be considered poor. \n\nThe only way to truly become wealthier is to earn economic profit, and the only way to do that is by exploiting market potential. Market potential is everywhere in America, you just need to open your eyes a little wider and you will see all the possibilities to earn economic profit, and meet your goal of what you believe it means to be rich. \n\nThere is definatly no system that can make a person rich in 20 years. If someone claimed a system existed and everyone got involved and it actually produced money it would mealy be inflationary more than anyhting. \n\nYou should also understand that money doesn't buy goods and services, goods and services buy goods and services, money is just the medium of exchange. So more money doesn't mean you can buy more. The more goods and services you provide the more you can get in exchange.

Expenses rise to meet income, no limit to that.  Ideally what ever you make is enough. How about enough so that the lack of or too much of it does noy limit your having a good life and being happy

There is never too much money. Because honestly, if i had too much money, i could eat caviar 3 times a day and fly my private jet between my 135 houses all over the world. That would really be okay by me.\n\nOn that note, if you feel that you have too much money, i'll gladly accept some of that extra cash.

It is not money that is bad it is the LOVE of money.  When someone gets all wrapped up in their money sometimes they don't care about others as long as they get money.  Sometimes however, people who have ample money realize that they can do some good in this world so they decide to use their money to benefit others.  If you have a love for money so strong that it breaks relationships and does not harm than good, then there is a problem.

I have never been rich, but I know it won't make you happy. Lottery winners, once the initial excitement wears off,  are some of the unhappiest people around. Once your basic needs are met, the rest is not going to make your happier.

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.

At its simplest form, Equity = Assets - Liabilities.  So to get a "high equity" it would mean the company does not owe a lot of people money.

What i can say is that money can't buy it and that must mean that it is priceless.So if we have good health it would indeed mean that we are truly wealthy.Especially when you consider the price of surgeries and medicine these days.
