Do you want to be rich?

(Actually I wouldn't be surprised at all if some people here really are rich, but anyway ...)

I think it's a safe bet that there would be both perks and drawbacks to having lots and lots and lots of money. Do you think you would want to be rich (money-wise)?


As for me, yes I'd like to have quite a bit more money than I have (which will never happen, especially since I'm in debt, heh), I'd like to not have to worry much about money, but I don't think I would want to have, say, a million dollars (USA) or more. The biggest negative that comes to mind is that I would have to hire a lawyer, and I don't want to have frequent dealings with lawyers (no offense if you're a lawyer :) ). In general I think other people would want to have my money, and I don't think I'd like that. There are probably both positives and negatives that I haven't considered.

(In general I don't have a very high opinion of money itself ... I wish it were totally optional whether I have any money at all ... but that's a topic for a different day, heh.)
 
saying that having to deal with lots of lawyers is a downside to being rich is like saying a downside to having a horsecock is that you have to buy bigger condoms

it's a minor inconvenience to what is an awesome thing
 
I suppose the natural answer for many would be 'yes' considering being rich seemingly does not have any disadvantages.

Still as a child from rich parents myself, i never felt this being an advantage i had over the other children. In fact seeing as my town is fairly socialistic i felt that many people threatened me differently, thinking that with such parents, i 'must' have been some spoiled brat. That was until they saw my (small) room and realized my parents never allowed me to have a TV or PC until i was 18(or gave me any presents for that matter). Also my parents are quite strict on etiquette which made me envy the other families with lesser restrictions often.

As such i'd rather be someone with a regular income in the future than being rich and being constantly reminded of the responsibilities it brought.
 
I want to be a musician, but I also want to be rich. I can pretty much only choose one.
People say, "do what you want to do", but I really don't want to be poor. I'm cool with not being rich, but I'd rather not live in a box.
 
Yes I would want to be rich. Money gets shit done. Pissy little inconveniences naturally come along with pretty much anything, why would I let them stop me from wanting to be rich, of all things?
