I agree rick.

My take on it, there is no amount of money that can MAKE me feel rick perse'...for me, it's more so what I can do with the money, who i can help with the money, who would benefit most from my generosity. Not to long ago I made a grand in a week, that was the most money I have ever had in my life at one time for my advantage...ever. I felt like the richest man and I still do...

why? because it was a hell of alot more dough then what i had prior to my wins, it is a blessing..... [ More ]

Money is energy. Money is not the source of that energy, it is a reward and a tool of energy. Money alone won't bring wealth. Energy will.

Wealth is very subjective. A blind man with 5 bucks in his pocket considers himself wealthy if he has a friend drive him to Subway so he can buy a sandwich. What makes him feel wealthy? It's not the 5 bucks, it's the fact that he had a friend that drove him there.

I would feel rich winning a MegaMillions jackpot even if it had just been won during the previous drawing since I don't plan on supporting anyone but myself. I've never felt responsible for the needs of others and having a few extra bucks in my pocket wouldn't change my thinking.

Please note that 7 people said that they can't count that high. Well I have been in school trying to get my degree in elementary education, and I can count that high. I guess I am toooooo generous. I would have to be able to support my sisters (their sorry excuse of a husbands barly do the job now). My neices and nephew, grandparents, one set of aunts and uncles, a couple of cousins, one best friend, parents, charity, and then me. WOW that sounds like the twelve days of Christmas. Well if I ke... [ More ]

I agree with tntea. I wasn't blessed with a happy marriage and children, but no amount of money can replace that kind of love.

That being said, I agree with Coin Toss that this poll isn't about spiritual wealth. It isn't about health either. If it were I would say that if I had AIDS or Cancer or was facing the loss of my sight, I'd burn a winning lottery ticket in a minute to be well again.

So to keep it simple, let's assume we are talking about the smelly, sweaty green stuff they h... [ More ]

That snetiment is fine, but even a person who says that, let them come into $1,000,000 or more and then ask them if they feel any richer than they did the moment before they got it.

The poll question isn't do you feel rich, but how much of the 'green enrgy', the $$$$$, would it take to make you feel rich.

re: How much money will make you fee rich?

Posted this before, can't find it but it fits here:

From the book True Prosperity, How to Have Everything, by Yehuda Berg:

A stock trader on Wall Street worth $50 million loses half his fortune one day, when the market crashes and causes his net worth to fall to $25 million. Meanwhile, on the same day, a mailman in wichita sells a stock short and doubles his $10,000 savings to $20,000.

Money issues aren't discussed between our family or amoung our friends..

I have no clue to whether they have more or less than I do..

sfilippo — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:27:32 GMT

ever notice how your family and friend's financial problems are ALWAYS the same ratio of YOUR net cash value?

for instance...

if i have 100 dollars in my pocket, someone will be in desparate need of about $30.00 from me.

so, it stands to reason, that if i had one million dollars, those same people would need about $300,000 all of a sudden.

go figga...

if i had 10 million, i would have a lot of people peed at me, for sure.... calling me stingy and just plain despising me. no doubt... [ More ]

It's Oprahs cash, she can do whatever she wants with it. She gives away alot more then most rich and famous people and if she felt like indulging a friend of heres in a very cheap wedding (for her atleast)...then thats her business. personally, I would aim for a goal of about 10 grand, to me it seems more realistic to me at the monent so thats what I'm striving for.

I feel that if aim for a goal any higher I would get way over myself and perhaps miss oportunities where I can earn atleast 10... [ More ]

I was watching a sad show on PBS last night about all the laboratory chimps and the rescue sanctuary in Florida. I think it's called Save The Chimps. These are very intelligent creatures who are locked up in cages for 30 years or more and subjected to cruel and painful experiments. I'd like to help a place like that, but it takes a lot more than a million dollars. So I know what you mean about the power of money.

I can not feel it. When I think about million dollars - it's big - but I can't feel it. Thousands, I have feeling for it. Seeing $52 millions just like $52 because I never have $1 millions. I like $100 Millions better; It remind me of $100 buck.

I would need $10 million to feel rich.

I only need $300,000 to cover the rest of my life. I have everything else; a good wife (for 41 years), two wonderful grown children, a healthy and vibrant grandson, two identical cats, three cars, a home paid for (twice), my good health (even tho I smoke), several wonderful stand-with-you friends, a few not so wonderful fiends ( yes, I mean fiends), and twenty grey squirrels that inhabit my back yard. I need ( emphasis on need ) nothing more.

I know Oprah give away a lot of stuff and money for worthy causes but I just couldn't believe that she was spending 8 million dollars for someone's wedding that was already rich and famous and didn't need the help.

I thought about how much 8 million dollars can do for a better cause. This is the closest I'll get to Bling Bling.LOL

One time at a seminar I attended the speaker was making a point and said he was looking for someone who needed $1,000,000.

He went around the room and asked people what they would do with $1,000,000.

One woman said she'd buy a house, get a new car (this was early 1980's). So he says, You don't need $1,000,000, you need $150,000.

He kept going around the room asking this, trying to make the point that he was looking for someone who really had a need, and a use for $1,000,000.... [ More ]

I said 10 million as well but as I ponder it if you are just talking about it 100 million would give me the power to really do something. I hate to say it but money talks. If your are worth a vast sum of money people seem to give you more respect. It makes no sense but people are people. Somehow people think that cowering down to someone with money will get them somewhere. The fact is that the rich laugh at them and they just do not know it. It is pitiful but true.

Depends on what you start out with and if that's after tax. It also depends on where you live. I don't own a house, so if I wanted an average home here it would cost me about $500,000 but I can always move. If I had just one million I would be very happy. However $10,000,000 would be better because I could help more people.
