[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, it is surprising how many people here know nothing about wealth.  Most of the people I know who are wealthy worked for themselves years ago (before it was trendy and meant nothing - as it is now).  They had nothing for health coverage because that was the way it was.  If they did get sick, it came out of pocket.  Nd far less others were about schadenfreude.

They should call this board the Schadenfreude board.  There are so many trying to find fault with others, its ridiculous.  God forbid the next guy have more than you.  Maybe they actually worked for it.  If you believe in luck, you'll NEVER be wealthy!

Agree.  I think people who see themselves as a victim or the recipient of bad luck, like 10:57 writes, are the difference.  Wealthy people get around obstacles.  In fact, wealthy people are the people who were sick and then invented something new that others find useful when sick.  It's attitude.  And, when you're looking at others, you're focus is off.

I said I WAS lucky (1057 here).   So you think that if a devastating illness cripples a family, that's not bad luck?  If someone's career is ruined by a false claim, that's not bad luck?  Happened to a guy I know and his family's finances were decimated.  I'm sure you think he should have just picked up, dusted off and founded a million-dollar company!  That's what wealthy people DO, after all!

Like I said, I'm wealthy but I don't pretend it's survival of the fittest.  Luck plays in.[/quote]
