OMG It Must Be Great To Be The Uber Wealthy (how many, buying)

[selhars]

OMG the money that is out there to be made in this works is crazy, and to be born into the stratosphere of the uber wealthy must be a trip.

I just read a story about a European CEO who was taken to court for child support of 46K a MONTH!

God how I wish money were no object for me. I wouldn't work, but I'd sure do a lot of philanthropy.

The highest WORKING person I know makes 150K a year
I don't know anyone born into family worth millions.

I often fantasize about what it would be like to have a private jet and a Ferrari. Maybe a private island some where. Sigh. One can dream. I don't know anyone born into that kind of money either. My wealthy friends are all self made, but no where near Bill Gates level.

Nah, it's overrated.

Too much class hatred for it to be fun.

You've always got to ask yourself, if your friends are really friends.

There are also always the people that are in wants, thinking a handout from you will solve their little problems.

Beclazone is right on the money, (pun intended).


Within what seemed like minutes of buying a bigger place, there were in-laws trying to take over a large shed to camp in, one wanted to move a trailer on the property, and one of their friends kept asking how many bedrooms do you have. Really? I can't imagine if I'd actually hit the big bucks. I'd have to disappear completely.

Every body has to have bling bling bling... and guess what. There will always be some else who wants your bling bling bling at any means necessary.. and again.. another person who wants that bling bling bling.. and the cycle repeats..

Bling is nothing.. Compared to sitting on a mountain top listening to nature and watching the sun come up or set..

There is nothing more valuable than this Nature is the treasure

Tin Man, I agree but never, never, never sit on a mountaintop and watch the sun set unless you have a very good flashlight.

I have my funnel.. stuffed with cotton and a little dab of kerosene.. strike a match and it guides my way.

“Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.”
― John Muir quote, A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf

Ha! That in itself could be pretty awe inspiring. Watch out for the deep canyons though; or as they call them there in Tennessee, the hollows.
