Have You Ever Dreamed About Being Rich?

[SandyR]

I'm having lots of weird dreams these days, but not being rich - sadly...

 

[katlupe]

Nope, I don't want to be rich. Those are the most unhappy people of all.

 

[deaver]

I dreamed....didnt do me any good but I dreamed......

I will preface this by saying I am very happy with what I have. I walk around the lake close to our home and see obscenely large, multi-million dollar houses being built and wonder if the residents are actually as happy as I am. I would never want to go back into the pressure cooker of Corporate America to acquire more.

That said, I have had dreams where we were entertaining friends in big, lavish homes. But I wasn't disappointed when I woke up in our comfortable, middle class home.

I'm quite content. I would have liked to have been rich when I was younger, but my life style pretty much dictated that I would never want to live where all the big money was at. So I made plans to just earn what I needed and a little bit more, so I could be close to nature, lots and lots of nature, and that was more important than anything else. If someone offered to give me a billion dollars, sure I would take it, providing there were no strings attached, and I could still live my own life where and how I wanted. I do not regret the choices I have made, and I'd make them again. OK, I've done a couple of dumb things that I regret, but none of them had anything to do with getting rich or not getting rich.

Have You Ever Dreamed About Being Rich?

Not when asleep, but day dreaming, sure.

I wouldn't mind seeing for myself. You know, testing theories and such.....

 

[jujube]

Sometimes I like to fantasize about what I'd do if I won the lottery BIG.....so far, it's just a fantasy. Sigh.

 

[NorthernLight]

Absolutely. Not filthy rich, just a few million. Heck, even one million would do. No more constant self-denial, no more worrying about the basics.

How much does one have to have to be considered rich? I presume you are talking about money.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Yes, but you could be miserable in comfort. I'd love to have a shed load of money.

 

[katlupe]

Yes, but you could be miserable in comfort. I'd love to have a shed load of money.

Not saying I wouldn't want more money but not in the rich category. I would rather just have what I need. Enough to help my son and help fund various animal rescues.

 

[caroln]

I won't lie, I'd like to be rich. Not just rich... richy rich. I'd never have to worry again that the price of coffee went up another $2.00 because I'd never see the grocery bill. That would be my housekeepers job.

No thanks …money isn’t everything …..health is the main concern in life
even if I was rich , I couldn’t do anything different as how I live now…..
it’s nice to be well off…….I’ve been, on the top scale , and the lower scale in life
, money is a subject , I wouldnt and don’t like discussing ……

Yes that would please me immensely , helping people out and charities ….

 

[charry]

I suppose , , an amount , where you could live off the interest, and not touch the chunk you have overseas in a tax free Bank …lol…

 

[charry]

Absolutely. Not filthy rich, just a few million. Heck, even one million would do. No more constant self-denial, no more worrying about the basics.

And just live of the interest NL lol

 

[Paladin1950]

Never. Why dream about something that you know will never happen?

 

[charry]

Never. Why dream about something that you know will never happen?

It could if you do the LOTTERY lol

 

[Pepper]

I would like to be able to do whatever I want; go wherever I want; however, don't need the highest class of doing that. So yes, I would like to be modestly rich where I have no needs or worries, financially speaking. I would also like to be able to be more charitable, I just can't spare the dough right now.

 

[CeeCee]

Just rich enough to be able to give a nice big thank you to my kids for giving me my comfortable lifestyle since my husband died 19 years ago.

 

[Gaer]

I would not want wealth.

 

[Right Now]

Being rich has never been on any of my lists toward making me happy. Not one. Never even contemplated it until just now. But I do remember in my 30s often saying to my friends, "I'd choose sleeping in a tent with someone I loved over living in a mansion with no one to make me happy."

 

[Muskrat]

I also have to ask….what amount constitutes “rich”? I find it to be a nebulous number that always changes….
