Do you think having excessive riches (several millions or more) is a blessing or a curse and why?

Question

I know a lot of millionaires. Some are worth several million, or even tens of millions. They don't act any different than they did when they worked for minimum wage at gas stations and fast food joints.

Almost all of them had regular jobs. Not minimum wage, but the kind of jobs most people with a college degree can get. They saved their money and invested it. Then they had millions by the time they reached retirement age (probably long before that). It's a tried and true method that works.

All the millionaires I know still shop at Walmart and look for stuff on sale. That's how they became millionaires in the first place and it's still what they do. If they were worth a hundred million instead of twenty million, I have no doubt they wouldn't act any different.

This is personality dependent. Let’s say from the “Hate the Government Crowd”: it takes a lot of Energy and Time to operate in the Red while generating Income. For many like this, Money is a chore but the FIRST Love.
—And often, these will lose their families and waste money by not letting a third qualified party handle it.-This in my estimation is one who is under judgment and money is indeed a Curse.
—I can give you a 💩 load of examples where all the outer “Gets” from money take Time and Energy that should be placed Elsewhere like Family…
—Money is a TOOL…Not an END ALL. One can not take 💩 with them BUT can leave s lineage of 💩 when Money is first love.

Blessing. When you have money it eases some of the stresses you have when you don't. What most people fall victim to is bragging, being conned and wanting way more than they need in material value.

Mostly a blessing but as a famous rapper once said “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.”

BOTH.

It's a blessing that allows you to get more of what you want, bless others (especially the less fortunate), and make an impact on the world. But at the same time, it results in many more issues the rest of us generally never had to consider a problem:

From the great difficulty in getting/maintaining genuine relationships with just about anyone to frequent lawsuits by people desperate for your money, being wealthy is no walk in the park. It's a bed of roses: It's luxurious, but has thorns!

I'd like the Financial freedom. Maybe there is a point where you have to much. But I'd want to leave a legacy for my family that would last, so my great great grand kids aren't spoilt but have a home and an education without having to worry bout some of the Financial pressures in life

A blessing. try wondering if you will get a meal today or tomorrow, then think about it. plenty people have are in terms position of having several millions, they live perfectly fine lives.

A blessing easily. It's only a curse if you flaunt it like those superstars do. One can act broke when rich but never the other way around. Besides I rather cry in a Ferrari than in a Ford.

It can be. You can get to fearing life, not living it.

BillyBalls · Answer

Money does make life easier. However, I can understand why a wealthy guy like Howard Hughes would become a recluse.

OddBeMe · Answer

I like that image. Funny. Um, unsure. there's certainly evidence that being a multi billionaire doesn't make you happy. But it could be the sociopathic urges that got them their billions.

anylolone · Answer
