Social Stereotype?

[raywing]

It occurs to me that many people like to make the following assumptions about rich and successful people

I have never thought that ONLY rich people did the above 3 points you mentioned. Almost the whole of Singapore does what you mentioned. Hahahhaha! Most Singaporeans are unhappy with their lives but continue working the job they hate because they have to pay for the bills and blabla. They lose their values as most of the times, situation calls for it. At the end of the day, they WILL dump their parents in homes (where did you come up with such a ridiculous point anyway wahahahahahaha dumping parents in homes) LOL

Anyway, I think being rich rocks. I wouldn't mind being rich, but I sure as hell don't wanna lose my life working towards it. I enjoy fun too much ^^

Yeah it happens because people have a poor financial blueprint, and in the end they have to slog to make everyday meet.

And I forgot to add in a 4th stereotype... That you have to lose your life to work towards becoming rich. ;) What I mean here is, it depends on how rich you wanna become, and some level of riches you don't have to work like a dog to get there - but you'll surely need additional effort. Plus it's not going to be much fun being poor too.

Like I said, it's not how much you can earn, but how much you can save; it's not how much you can save, but how hard your money is working for you; and it's not how hard your money is working for you, but how SMART your money is working for you. =)

I couldn't agree with you more, my friend.
You can't be rich and successful if you are negative with the above mentioned points.
