Re: Why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor

[QUOTE=Vaniy;1619472]This Rich poor thing is all a matter of degrees

What may be rich to one person is a pauper to another and vice a versa

It all depends what you want and expect out of life

Totally agree with this,

There are course immigrants who can not read and write English but have staff who do it for them.

I had never heard of him but goodness me it's sounds like he has worked hard in his life to make his millions .
It sounds like he doesn't have time to do much reading .

Azure there are legions of highly educated well read university graduates who can't find jobs .
This man provides jobs for people as well as making money so perhaps reading and writing isn't as important as being bright and motivated .

I agree with Van it's a matter of degrees... just imagine your granny visiting you ...she would think you were really wealthy just owning your own house and a car was beyond.most.our Grandparents wildest dreams....yup compared to previous generations we are rich indeed.

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
Giving none away, away, away
