[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This describes a certain type of wealthy person - the self-made entrepreneur type. Not all rich are like this. Many were born into money and do nothing very extraordinary with their lives.

Also, where is it written that following one's passion correlates with wealth? My passion is being a psychologist and helping people. I love what I do, but I'm certainly not in it for money.[/quote]

Um only less than 8% of wealth is inherited. Most people earn it.

Also if you don't have a passion for what you do you'll never be rich. It doesn't mean your passion will make you rich. [/quote]

Oh please, the whole "passion" thing is a crock.  My DH doesn't have a passion for what he does, but he likes it well enough and he's done it long enough to be good at it. He's also fallen into some great opportunities due to pure luck. His work has indeed made us rich by almost any standard. He plans to keep it up for a few more years until we have enough socked away that we can keep up our lifestyle without ever having to work again if we don't want to. THEN he will pursue his passion, which I can almost guarantee will not be particularly lucrative. We are lucky as shit and I am grateful every day.  My DH is a great guy but we don't kid ourselves that he is some kind of superior human being. Oh and he reads novels!  Lowbrow novels!  Dude cannot get ENOUGH of Clive Cussler.[/quote]
