Become Rich In Poor Society
January 29th, 2008 by WTJI just saw an interesting question asked in Yahoo! Answers.
now i am a poor boy and i just want to get more money, that’s not joke i’m serious with that so please inform me something best for me
What is rich? I define the term “rich” as have a quality of life which is better than others.
From his question, I guess what he wants is just earning more money than people in his neighbourhood. I had been asked an interesting question.
World A, you earn $100,000 and richer people earn $200,000.
World B, you earn $90,000 and poorer people earn $50,000.
World A is a developed world, and you are considered as poor in that society. World B is not so developed, but you are in the top class of that society, but then you earn less than when you are in World A. Which would you choose? Most people will choose to stay in World B.
There are several answers given in Yahoo! Answers, and this are some of the quotes from them.
mister ed, “in your basic question i think you wanted to use “in a” instread of “at” == there is a saying in the land of the blind a one eye man is king — which means look around and learn from the ones who have made it — example if you are a helper on a dump truck — what does it take to be the driver — if you are the driver what does it take to be the owner!!!!”
pablo M, “you can either work hard or do what rich people do…take advantage of the poor people”
Laura, “Don’t fall for society’s trap of the “rich get richer and the poor get poorer” by wasting money & going into debt trying to prove yourself with the latest cellphone, car, sneakers, whatever. The truly rich have NOTHING to prove and the millionaires I’ve met…well, I couldn’t tell they were millionaires until on down the road ( I worked for a bank). They have nice clothes, houses and cars, but nothing too flashy. The people trying to prove they had money and didn’t…those were the ones with the newest and best.”
