True -

but in recent surveys wealthy people at least claim to be more happy than those people struggling at the bottom of the heap........ often wealth is a by-product of success, and success is often a by-product of a person with drive and ambition and a good personality!

I've been both rich and very poor.........being rich and miserable is better than being poor and miserable - however I have also been poor and very happy........ being rich and happy is of course the best option that I am now reaching in my old age!¬

People who seek happiness are often miserable and fail. People who seek wealth just for the sake of it are often miserable.

The happiest people are those who have a positive attitude and treat the obstacles in life as challenges rather than problems sent by an uncaring God to fuck up their lives.

I hope that anybody reading this post feels good about themselves - happiness is a natural state and we all deserve to be happy if we just relax a little and accept the many blessings that are showered on us every day!

I agree 100% .....but the problem is that men talk about their property and money in the bank and their well paid job....to attract women...............stupid women if they fall for that frustrated

Hmmmmm... I said that most wealthy people were successful and deserved their success due to their positive attitude.

I feel a little guilty as my good fortune is not of my own making and I have nothing to brag about.........would I brag if I was wealthy because of my own labour?

I don't know, maybe I would but many wealthy people are really nice modest people who have absolutely zero need to impress others (in my experience).

They might have had to be really focused in the business life to succeed, but they often seem to be really relaxed and friendly when you meet them socially.

There again, the discipline required for somebody to acheive a goal can make them control freaks!

My best friend was very attracted to a very wealthy man. He was charming and generous and they got to know each other 'well'. She was invited to his mansion. While he mowed his lawn on one of those huge things you sit on, she made him a meal.

He freaked out when she put knives in his cutlery draw the wrong way round! She immediately ended the relationship (sensible woman!).

I guess control is another matter, but they can go together (control and obtaining wealth)....... as human beings we do not like to be controlled, and should therefore not try and control others.......

Some men are obvious control freaks, women can also be, but tend to be more subtle about it!
