Are You Trying to Get Rich or Wealthy?

Formal Shorts 12 years ago

Indeed. Far too many people strive for wealth and lose sight of how rich they already are. Me? I strive for the former and try not to forget the latter.

ha.. bloody ha...

It was always cheap booze and cheap women. At least get your facts right.

And that's always my standard answer to all those "I have $100 what should I invest it on?" type threads.

And I refuse to grow up.

As far as being rich goes, here's my expereince for anyone who cares to listen...

I spent the first 20 years of my working life building a career etc. I drove BMW's and wore expensive Italian suits. I carried expensive pens and ate at fancy restaurants.

I believed that all my activities validated my success.

Then I became a daddy.

These days, I am rich or rather blessed in many ways that I had never imagined. don't get me wrong because I still enjoy the finer things in life. They are simply no longer the highest priority.

So after all those years of being on the treadmill of having to increase earnings in order to buy more shiny objects to prove my success, I now lead a more simple life.. a freer life... a stress free life.

Good health is the name of the game. So it all depends on your perspective and definition of wealth and rich.

In a sense, I am now richer than I could ever have imagined.

After thinking about this a little more- I agree more and more with ya, Sal.

With constant, adequate cash flow, you have the freedom to do what you want, which makes you happier and gives you time to work out.

It also gives you the funds to enjoy with family- and hopefully passive income so you don't worry about where the next paycheck is coming from.

Yet it's so simple! Maybe you should be "Simple Sal" and can partner up with Simple Spencer about Simpleness

I'm with Sal on this one too... cash flow gives you the freedom to what you love while your bills are being paid.

By your definition, rich. I'm not even trying to make tons of money. I want to make enough to support my family without my husband having to work 12 hour days to pay our bills. I want us to be able to spend as much time together as we can as a family. You can always make more money, but you have a set amount of time on this planet and I want to spend as much of it as I can with the people I love.

Thanks

Wealth.

I want my cake and eat it!

Saying that you can only become wealthy by distancing yourself from your friends and loved ones is just an excuse you use because you are scared!

Cash flow is a good answer- for me that means wealth, that is just how I always have
seen it. on the personal side- Cash flow for business can be different.

Really though for me, IM means freedom. The 5 digit a month numbers are great, but my
goal is freedom. To move and have a business that can move with me. That is my goal.

Thanks

I'm just trying to make me some money so I can lie on the beach all day, LOL.

The beach don't cost money, and the beach barbeques with supermarket beer are pretty darn cheap.

No one really wants money... just the things it buys

Stretching the point, you don't want what money buys, you want the feeling - the feeling that you get when you have what money buys.

How do you feel when you have the wonderful car, cruise, home etc?

There, see, the feeling is what you really want

This is a great point, Ian.

This is exactly why the WSO section has exploded.

People aren't looking for the magic button, a system to build a business, software the does X,Y, and Z, etc.

Instead, they just want that feeling that comes from buying a WSO. It makes them feel good.

...it's also why my wife likes buying flowers, clothes, shoes, etc.

Thanks

I really don't care to be super rich or wealthy. I am retired and I just love the fact that I don't have to live on my retirement. My IM business takes care of me and my wife just fine. To me that is rich enough.

Rich by this definition...Honestly, I just want to be "comfortable"

A point where I don't have to stress about living, paying bills, working (IM, and my other ventures) with a little left over for my children to have a good jump start in their own goals and dreams.

Today Money is everything, people trying to earn as much money as they can grab but they forget that they have their own lives to live also.

I would say that earn money enjoying everything for better life.

I'm not a fan of these definitions you have put up here, while it's obvious that in pursuit of wealth those you love will try to obstruct and get you to veer away from such 'madness' . This dopes not however mean that every billionaire out there is subjected to a lack of meaningful relationships with family and friends. On that I implore you to state exactly how rich is rich and how wealthy is wealthy ? Felix Dennis covers it best.

£1m-£2m The comfortable poor

£2m-£5m The comfortably off

£5m-£15m The comfortably wealthy

£15m-£40m The lesser rich

£40m-£75m The comfortably rich

£75m-£100m The rich

£100m-£200m The seriously rich

£200m-£400m The truly rich

£400m-£999m The filthy rich

More than £999m The super rich

Thanks
