    Most of people want to be rich. Of course I also like to be rich because I belong to medium class family and till date I do not have any luck to be rich. I want to live comfortably, fulfill the desires of my family members and feel the experiences of richness.

    Let’s discuss why do people (or you) want to be rich?

    Thanks to the continual disolvement of the middle class due to outsourcing and insourcing and the increased cost of goods the only way to truly be free is to be rich. Otherwise, your life revolves around trying to make ends meat. You can't really afford to be 'free'.

    My reason for wanting to be rich is financial independence. It is the closest thing you can get to freedom in this rotten world. You can't do anything without money, and when you have to work for someone else, you're basically a slave.

    Most people say they want to be rich so they can buy nice things.....and the vast majority of people who say this will never become rich. By the way, being rich and being wealthy are two different things. Being rich generally means you have a high income, while being wealthy means you have a high net worth or valuable assets.

    I want to be wealthy because I want more money than the general public.

    That's my reason for wanting to be "rich". I don't really care if I ever become wealthy, I just wanted enough money to quit my boring job. Now that I'm free of cubicle hell, all I need is enough to pay the bills and travel expenses.

    Hmm why do I wanna be rich? Basically to pay off my bills and to live comfortably...to be able to have a great time with my family and what not...In the end being rich and wealthy are two quite different things IMO (Not just because of assets and so on..) But, being wealthy implies (to me) more of being "happy", having a good life, people to love you and people you love...and having time to spend with these people rather than working 24/7 or being worried about moeny 24/7...so there goes...im aiming to be wealthy i don't know about rich ;)

    And of course to pay my vacations somewhere away from the "city", in some islands or deserted places

    hold it and fill it - not as good as stopping in time

    measure and pound it - it will not long survive

    pride and riches are errors

    the wisest people dont wanna be rich

    If youre rich you can always live like youre poor.
    If youre poor, you have to live like you are poor.

    Rich is better.

    Think of it like this:

    if you are not rich, earning what most people do, you only have enough money (and time) to spend on yourself

    if you are rich, you can focus your money on others, and that is the key to happiness :)
