Re: Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] while also striving to help those less fortunate [/ QUOTE ] Curious of how the book argues that helping those less fortunate helps someone achieve wealth? [/ QUOTE ] Because after you spend the $19.99 for the book....the author is that much closure to achieving that goal [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] But all kidding aside,monetary success alone is not the end all be all IMO.Once you reach a certain level of financial security....other things in life DO become more meaningful. I know MANY wealthy individuals who feel just as much "success" in giving some back....just as gratifying as that previous climb towards success You have to get their first to understand I guess SF [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

An abundance of what? goodwill? [/ QUOTE ] An abundance of wealth. Succesful people believe they can always create more wealth and giving some away does not mean they will have less. |

Unless the act of giving in some way facilitates making more (a connection I don't see) then yes it does mean they will have less.

Those that fear that they can't create or produce more in the future have a tough time giving up anything they have. One's attitude has a great bearing on success. |

I can create the same feeling of abundance by just having a very high burn rate. |

Re: Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class
Here's two perhaps less obvious ones:
Millionaires got lucky financially (most likely a good start) Families of millionaires are less happy |

In my experience (reasonable sample size), the extremely wealthy are incredibly unhappy souls. The middle class seems downright gleeful by comparison. [/ QUOTE ] say what? |
