Will you ever be rich?
« on: April 02, 2018, 12:23:53 pm »
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? :)

The chances of my being rich (money) are slim to nil.  But I’m very very rich in other ways, I have a great family, who I love more than anything, I have some wonderful friends who mean the world to me, so this way, yes I’m rich.

I wish I were rich in family and friends. Sadly I'm not, but I'm not a super-social person so it doesn't bother me too much.

Try to invest that money into a retirement account. That's where you'll really start making money. ;)

Not unless I hit the lottery.  Not by working on sites like Fusion.  Not without a lot of luck.  Not with what seems to be my skills and talents. Not unless I have a rich relative somewhere I don't know about and they want to leave their money to me.   Not unless I suddenly have a major insight and invent a greatly desirable or useful item or concept.  I guess not!!!

I have one chance of becoming a millionare.  I have a 20 million dollar lawsuit against the county jail and state of Michigan for my daughter suicide while in county jail under suicide watch.  Our lawyers say that we have a chance of a settlement and should expect 5 million dollars.

If I win the lawsuit I plan on opening a middle eastern restaurant and naming it ShadowCat after my daughter's nickname to honor her memory.  And I will be donating some money to suicide prevention in her name.

I think the mistake here is defining "rich" as having over a million dollars. I don't believe I will ever have a million dollars and I am resigned to the fact that money will probably always be tight (yet I am still hopeful that one day it will not be so tight). But I have a house and I have people in it that I love and who love me. What more can I really ask for?

I will never be rich financially but I am rich with family and friends. If I had to choose one or the other, I'd choose family and friends and be flat broke anyday.  ;)

Probably not. I will still be poor.

I know that I will never be rich, but I have a Husband who works very hard and I live quite comfortably. We could not do this without The Lord always being there for us. :angel11:
