Re: Why?

I don't think it's completely true that you have to be poor to be happy, money may not buy happiness but anyone who thinks that's true didn't know where to go shopping.

Because lying, cheating and greed can often get you ahead faster, sadly. It shouldn't be the case, but we see it so many times.

Very good point. I always think when I see people in flash cars that they are nearly always leased vehicles nowadays, the person driving doesn't own the car, likewise some footballers earn disgusting amounts of money but they can hardly be popular or loved judging by the stupid way they behave off the field.

Re: Why?

Leave the phone at home, go out into the country, stand in the middle of a field, absorb the vista, see if you can be happy as a Pig in Shit.

I don't know , the clients I do work for are doing very well , Bentleys and ferraris on the drive , in many london roads house after house you wouldn't buy for under ten million , if they have been little dishonest getting their money so be it , it's give honest me and others plenty of work ,



Regarding football players ronaldo give 5 million of his earnings to the earth quake vitims , another player has build a school in Africa , there's hundrens of football players that pay back into the needy with their earnings

Re: Why?

There is usually an assumption that anyone who has money is by default a nasty person.
That makes no more sense than saying that anyone who doesn't has to be very nice.
People are good and bad rich and poor alike.
There are rich who are generous and there are poor who are not, just as there are poor who will give what little they have and rich who don't give anything.

A good person who becomes well off is not automatically now a bad person or vice versa.
