Will you ever be rich?

[braggin]

I am rich in the things I really care about - the love and support of my wonderful family and great friends too who love to do things I like to do like take day trips into NYC to go to museums or the botanical gardens. It's also nice to have enough money to do the things I want to do, but beyond that, having a lot of money is not important to me.

Serious question. Do you think you'll ever be rich? And by rich, I mean a millionaire, which many may not even consider rich anymore, but I definitely do. I think I will one day. At least that's what I'm working towards. I make over $20 an hour at my current job, and have several side hustles, including a roommate and this. Not getting rich from this, but it keeps my brain active and I'm at high risk of getting Alzheimer's, so I think it's good for me.

I don't spend much money, and put most of my salary in a retirement account. I'm hoping for some luck with the stock market, and eventually, I'll have enough money to retire, travel the USA, Europe, and South America -- or maybe just take some afternoon naps with my cats.

What about you guys? Planning on being rich one day?

Hello!

That's great for you! My goal is to be financially secure so that I don't have to worry about how I'm going to pay my bills next month. If within that journey I become rich great.

Considering I'm struggling to make enough money to cashout every month on Fusioncash, I doubt I'll ever be "rich". I'm still working jobs for minimum wage (because no one else wants to hire a college graduate). It's a tough world that we live in.

More power to you and good for you if you can attain it,  but don't give up having some fun in life. I'm way past the time where I could become rich unless I win the lottery and that chance is slim to none. I don't play.  I always thought I'd have a good life and rest easy when old. When young, there wasn't any teaching on how to save money or how much, and I was a mom at 21, divorced, and no job and medical problems. When I married my high school sweetheart (he also had a kid from a previous marriage), we bought a house. We both had decent jobs and then came the recession of the '80s and we both lost our jobs. It was all we could do to keep from losing the house. It took us years to get straightened out again and by the time we could start saving, the boys were in their 30s and married.  So, we had a chance to really save...then came 2008-09. What little we saved is now gone. Lost half in 2009, and neither can work anymore. Living on Social Security and my IRA is already gone and his is enough to pay this year's taxes and that's it. What we do next year is questionable. During our life, every time we saw the light at the end of the tunnel, something would happen and we'd be at the bottom of the ladder again.

Sounds unrealistic to me, lol.

I doubt it but I guess I can dream haha.

[autumnsparklemom]

I wish! I would love to be...

Not rich in the monetary sense, but blessed in life!

I don't know if I'll ever have access to 1 mil at once (because of bills and continuous reinvesting) but I know my net worth will be that within the next decade or 2.

[PGS28]

I think the definition of rich is shifting; it used to be meaning having an abundance of financial status.  Now, it can mean just being absent of overwhelming bills (which many are acheiving by living in RVs) and being able to comfortably fulfill life goals such as being able to travel country to country by living in cheap brothels during those times.

[PGS28]

Even though I foresee my net worth being a mil one day I don't care to ever have access to that kind of finances at one time; there's a saying more money more problems for a reason.  I just want to be ok in the event of unexpected bills and emergencies, and I am, so I'm good.

You guys are right about money not buying happiness. There's a lot more to life than money, but I chose to divorce my spouse over money just because I didn't want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life.
