What do you think when you pass a mansion? You know what I am talking about. You drive by one of those incredible huge and beautiful homes and just can't seem to get by without thinking they are rich. What gives it away?
To you they are rich because they possess things of apparent wealth. A large house and a fancy car cost a lot, so they must have a lot of money in order to afford it.
Would your view of them changed if I told you they had two mortgages on their house and owed more than what it was worth, their fancy cars were all leased, they had $75,000 in credit card debt, and every month they spent more money than they earned? Now are they rich? They looked rich before, but now you can easily see that they are nowhere near it.
If you looked at that person at first and thought they were rich, you probably consider rich someone who has a lot of possessions. They have a lot of expensive looking things. This all depends on what your definition of rich is.
Have you ever thought of someone who has no debt, a paid off home, and a comfortable retirement savings put aside as rich? They don't live a wealthy lifestyle, but they could be considered rich because they are financially secure.
What out being rich in thought? You consider yourself rich because you are rich in friends, or rich in happiness. This type of 'rich' thinking doesn't usually get through, but ultimately, being rich isn't everything.
You could be rich because you are satisfied and content with your life or because you are loaded with money. Rich is a positive word and you automatically feel you need to be rich. Contentment in your life should be your ultimate goal and you should strive for happiness.
If you still want to be wealthy and have a lot of money, you can always get a really good paying job, save every penny you make, invent something everyone must have, invest in the next big thing before it gets big, or try many other ways to get there. Good luck, and I hope you see the riches you've always dreamed of!
