RE: Late Night Thoughts: Why Do So Many People Judge You For Wanting To Be Wealthy?
I think people tend to take wild and imbalanced swings in their views of wealth, some shake their fists with rage at anyone who's made it in life, some get wealthy and horde and give their whole being to staying wealthy/accumulating more... Wealth seems to change them from bad to worse.
If I ever really succeed, I'd want to:
A) Guard wealth because I may never get a second chance...
but
B) Live knowing that riches are VERY temporary and not let greed master me... to give back reasonably where I can.
This was a great point!
I think wealth just exaggerates who you already are. If you are a giving person, then you will sacrifice on a larger scale. If you are an asshole, then you will just become a bigger asshole.
This is huge! Money does really change people if they forget that it is just a tool and let it use them, instead of them using it.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be empowering them with not just money, but the knowledge and discipline it took to make it!
