They have the discipline to make money or were born into making money but dont have to discipline to enjoy the things in life that dont take much money. They try to buy those things. That equals problems.

Rubbish! Money is good for you! Problem arises when people do NOT acquire this wealth by their own hard work and do not know how to foster healthy relationships with the people around them.....and we all know that skill is none discriminatary.....you will find poor people who are just pure nasty piece of shit.
If the less money you have means less problems and a longer life, then go and ask the poor rural people in some African countries.....some have an average life of 50!
People who say this are just being lazy and want to excuse themselves from some damn hard work.....
Just remember that money does not mean PAPER money......the happiest wealthy people are those who accumulate ASSETS rather than gadgets, dollars in paper and uselessness things.

YOU ARE READING IN TO THIS SOMETHING I DIDNT SAY. I SIMPLY SAID RICH PEOPLE HAVE JUST AS MANY PROBLEMS IN GENRAL. LESS MONEY DOESNT MEAN LESS PROBLEMS EVIDENTLY. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO HAS IT AND DOESNT HAVE IT.

MONEY DOESNT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS. YOUR MIND DOES. MONEY WITH A BAD MIND IS TERRIBLE. PEOPLE WITH NO MONEY DO APPRECIATE THINGS THAT COST LESS MONEY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT STEAL. OTHERS NATURALLY ACQUIRE THE DISCIPLINE. SOME DO MORE THAN OTHERS.

THERE ARE FEW REASONS YOU WORK HARD FOR A LOT OF MONEY. ONE IS BEING THAT YOU DONT APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE TO AN EXTENT AND THINK THE MORE MATERIALISTIC THINGS YOU BUY THE MORE YOU WILL BE HAPPY. YES THAT CAN COME FROM HARD WORK. AND THEN YOU APPRECIATE THOSE MATERIALISTIC THINGS. THEN WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE YOU DONT HAVE ANY EMOTIONAL DISCIPLINE TO GET RID OF THEM. YOU TRY TO CURE EVERYTHING WITH MONEY.

The only problems that rich people have deals with power and control. This is the ultimate thing money gets you...power! This is why they do so much to control our lives and how we think by putting garbage on TV, advertising, commercial products and such. There biggest fear is losing their power; hence why they will try their hardest to only excel the most ig'nant Black people, because our intelligent Blacks with power would certainly liberate us. In turn, this would diminish, if not eradicate, their control over our people in African and around the Diaspora.
In conclusion, the only problem rich people have is to keep the educated and intelligent people powerless.

THATS JUST WHAT I SAID. YOU PROVED MY POINT.
BUT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE NOT ONLY HAVE TO HAVE ANALYTICAL INTELLIGENCE BUT SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE, DEVELOPEMNT OF YOUR HIGHER SENSES. THATS WHERE THE POWER COMES. I STARTED ANOTHER THREAD ON THAT. THATS WHY THEY KEEP ALL OF THE FALSE RELIGIONS GOING TO KEEP YOU FROM DEVELOPING YOUR HIGHER SENSES.

being rich doesnt mean you will...
find your soulmate
avoiddivorce
defy diseaseor death
be able to have children
have successful children
never become bankrupt
so yes, rich people do share the same day in day out dramas.
You also have to remember the higher up you are the greater the fall. Just look at Mike Tyson who lost half a billion in his lifetime or Donald Trump who at one time was worth minus 1 billion, or even Richard Branson whose company 'Virgin' nearly went under on several occassions.
Being rich aint always easy!

I just don't get this. What is so much fun about shopping? And can never have enough bullsh!t to hang in the closet. Once it's out of style it's totally worthless.

The first thing we want to do when we are asked, or decide, to take it upon ourselves to determine how others should think and feel under certain circumstances is insert ourselves, or superimpose into their position whether it be finacial, cultural etc. and determine how we might feel under those circumstances. And if we were all alike then that would not be a problem. The problem, however, is that we respond to our environments differently, other factors influencing how we deal with situations are time, culture, age, race, gender, parenting etc. We aren't monolithic in our responses to certain situations. However, we often bring our own history and experiences into our interpretations of others experiences.

That is so vague. I bet If most ppl didn't eat for a week and they were penniless they would pray to Jesus for some money or commit a crime.
When ppl say being rich isn't easy, I don't know of many things in life that are, some ppl find sleeping difficult. You gotta take the rough with the smooth.
To cop out of being wanting to be successful financially isn't a bad thing. But no matter how you wanna paint it you gotta have money.
