It's funny how RICH is defined in a monetary value. I live a very rich life (including kids, those of you who don't have them yet: you'll get it when you have them), can afford everything I need and most of the stuff I want. I never got the lavish spending of the wealthy, why on earth would someone buy a Ferrari or 50,000 dollar pool table? What I'm trying to say is money is just the means to fulfilling a desire.

I knew an old lady who saved every penny in her life to amass 10.000 euros, it was her dream. She did accomplish it, but never had any fun in her life because she'd always save her money. When she died she had the desired amount on the bank. Her children inherited the money, but only after they paid 40% tax.

How to get rich? Live your life to the fullest and have fun. And yes, raise a family at some point. I promise you that all the money in the world can't buy you what you get from your that!
