Do you know this man?

Ahh everyone knows. He is Rajinikanth, the superstar of Tamil cinema. One of the richest actors in India. Well, what happened to him?

He was diagnosed with a life threatening disease in his kidney last year. He was admitted in one of the best hospitals in Singapore. Leading doctors attended him and advanced treatment was given to him with latest technology. He recovered in a blink of an eye. He is acting in 2 films now.

What do you think is the sole reason for his recovery?

BECAUSE HE IS RICH.

Had the same problem been experienced by some middle class 60 year old uncle who didn't have even 1% of bank balance of what Rajini has, he would have suffered a lot and died.

Money can save life, money can give world’s best treatment, money can bring best doctors from all around the world.

If being rich can save your life, then Yes, it’s worth getting rich. It’s absolutely worth it.

Do you know this person?

I think everyone knows him.😊
He is the famous and my favourite cricketer Yuvraj Singh.

We all know him because of 6 ball 6 sixes and most importantly as the significant contributor in winning World Cup trophies for India.

In 2011 he was diagnosed with a rare form of dangerous cancer called Mediastinal Seminoma. After being diagnosed, Yuvraj underwent treatment under one of the best hospitals of world in Boston and Indianapolis(USA) with advanced technology.

He made a successful recovery and returned to cricket in 2012 and continued his Cricketing Career for few years.

How he could recover from that rare life threatening Cancer and bounced back ?

Because he is RICH so could afford the treatment.

——————————————

But If the same issue has been found in a poor person then due to unaffordable treatment cost he/she could have suffered a lot and died.Just for information, in India in 2022 above 8 Lakhs people died with Cancer.

So of course, getting Rich is worth it if it can save your life and bring happiness in your family.

Peace!

P.S. - Here by no way, I mean that being Rich for sure will save and make you live longer.I just explained how having money makes your life easier and high end facilities affordable in most of cases but for sure not in all the cases.
Happiness and health matters more at the end.

Worth what?

Common wealth is not worth it. The moment you go for your first business class trip:

You don't go around: “oh my luurd, look at me, I can afford business class". I slept first time, I missed free food, free drinks.

Except for the occasional vlogger, the only difference is that business class people are mostly quiet, sleep, or work on their laptop.

The first time you go on a yacht, you think you made it?

There is nothing special about something like this. Except for the random bunch of dumb teenagers who behave like imbeciles and post everything on Instagram.

I’ve always wanted an Aston Martin when I was younger, inspired by the James Bond movies.

When I realised I could buy one, interest faded. I bought so much stuff I never used into my life. In my 20s I earned more than my dad in his 60s. He didn't want my money. He wanted me to spend time with him. That is how I have been raised.

Getting rich is all about real friends, a target you want to achieve in life, having goals and hobbies, being healthy, that is real wealth.

All the above pictures is just material crap which will dissapear, lose value over time.

The problem with the chase of becoming a millionaire, is that it changes people. I’ve met too many people who chased wealth and they became arrogant. They started to treat people like shit because those had less wealth.

I live close to a restaurant called Core by Clare Smyth:

And the amount of shallow people I’ve seen outside waiting to get in is disgusting. When I would walk by (which I do daily), I see them look down at me. They feel superior. I feel sorry for such empty vessels.

When I go in an expensive store, im being chased by security because I look like a slob. When I want to buy something expensive, they look at me with disdain, “how would you like to pay?” money is the root of all evil.

1. I have made 5 sisters aged around 70 to 80 years (1 at road side and 4 at a temple) and give weekly pocket money to them. (100 INR each) They wait desperately for me.
2. I don't sweat & get stressed a night before 10th of every month when most of my EMI's are paid.
3. I don’t need to hide my face from my loved ones on their birthday.
4. I don't need to check my pockets before going to a mall. (and some times cancel the plan)
5. The relatives who mocked at me are envy now, some who insulted ask for loans today.
6. I don't have to look at my father for getting my car fueled.
7. I am not dissapointed any more with the difficult choices I made in career.
8. I can give advices and tell stories of struggle instead of listening to the same.
9. I don't wake up at 3 am in night in depression and stress about what to do next!
10. I don't need to skip parties & functions due to embarrasment and unavailibility of good clothes and accessories.
11. I respect my failures and not curse them.
12. I don't need to give explanations to people anymore.
13. I can reply to the question “Hey what are you upto these days?” with confidence.
14. Out station trips are not just old memories and dreams.
15. I help a few needy people in education & medicines earning enormous self respect & happiness.
16. My parents don't get sad looking at my unhappy face.
17. I don't need to do physical labor (packing, transporting, quality checks, labelling) which I did in my previous business.
18. Mind is more focussed and concentrated.
19. Employees greet me and salute me when I arrive at office unlike earlier when I was the only employee in my company.
20. I don't fear to do a job again anymore.

I have only earned a respectable status and have still not reached anywhere near my definition of being rich but still it feels happy and fulfilling to see the seeds sowed & watered with sweat and blood grow into trees.

I guess it depends on two factors:

1. the extent of the sacrifice
2. the extent of the happiness the money has brought

In general, however, money doesn’t bring as much happiness as most people perceive it will. Sure, we’re all desperate for money but once there it really isn’t all that amazing. Studies have consistently shown that once you attain a certain fairly low wealth-level additional money doesn’t make you much happier.

A few years ago I was chatting with a self-made guy worth close to US$1B. He was sharing with me the sacrifices he'd made to get where he had. He then asked himself out loud "Was it all worth it?"

He paused and then answered, "No, if I'm honest, it wasn't."

There is a Quote , “whoever said money can’t buy happiness! Are shopping at the wrong Address”

According to me yes ofcourse money can buy happiness! It can buy 99% of the things in the world.

1. Most importantly you can spread happiness by donating money for the education of poor kids and providing them some stuff and food to eat.

2. When you have money , you can buy the best exotic cars on the planet.

3. When you have money you can eat the best food on the planet.

4. When you have money , you don’t have to worry about flight bookings coz you’ve got the beast.

5. When you have money you can go to best exotic vacations.

6. When you have money , you can afford the best hotel to stay.

7. When you have money , you don’t need to wear the same outfit twice.

8. When you have money , you don’t need to search a budget home coz you can build your own Castle!

I hope you got the Answer!

Thanks for Reading!

After losing over one million a week, cash, for the entire summer of 2000, I was forced to sell my apartment.

So one day in 2002, all the boxes were packed, the apartment was empty. We had two moving trucks waiting downstairs to move us an hour north of the city.

It was like an exile. My self-esteem was gone, my apartment was gone, I hadn’t slept a full night in almost three years, and other things I can’t even talk about.

My ex-wife, my two toddler girls, and Lynne, a close family friend who was helping us move, were taking one last look around. “Oh. My. God,” Lynne said. “This is really it.”

It’s been a decade and a lot has happened, good and bad (mostly good). Someone on quora yesterday asked the question, “what’s it feel like to be rich?”

I figured I’d answer based on my pre-2000 experiences. I’ll save 2000-2010 for another time.

A lot of people started answering the quora question with “I was able to buy this, or that, or ‘this and that’. “

Money was never about that for me, then or now. There’s never been anything I wanted to buy (other than the next ipad!)

I have minimal material possessions. If you know me you’d see I dress like crap and the edges of all of my pants are frayed.

I don’t own a suit. I don’t have a drivers license so fancy cars are out. I like comic books more than paintings. I don’t like to fly or sail. And I don’t drink wine or eat out a lot. So what did it mean for me back then:

– DNA. I finally felt good enough about myself to pass on my genes and have children. I never wanted to have children before that.

There’s apparently some evolutionary reason that we feel a strong urge to pass on our genes. I had never felt that before but somehow having a significant amount of money gave me permission to want to have kids.

– Safety.

For the briefest of moments, I felt “safe” – like nothing could harm me and I could live forever. In 1999 I visited the Chairman of a company I was a shareholder of. I was in LA and he picked me up at the hotel in his latest Porsche.

We drove to his enormous house and he gave me a tour. When we sat down he told me, “I don’t even have to do this anymore. I have so much money now that nothing can touch me.”

I know it sounds unbelievable and a cliché but a year later he came down with cancer. After battling with cancer for years he was given worse and worse news about the outlook until eventually he shot himself and his kids found the body.

I heard about the news when his wife called everyone in his address book. This is not meant to be a lesson. Money has its benefits but immortality is not one of them. (Although, if you must – How To Live Forever).

Another example.

A friend of mine was running a prominent gaming site and wanted to maybe sell it or do something with (it was 1999, so why not?) I introduced him to a successful guy I knew on Wall Street.

I couldn’t even find the guy’s office. I had never been down as south as Wall Street. My friend and I sat there while Shlomo (not his real name, but you get the drift) said, “look at me! Ten years ago I was a shlub. Now I have 100 million dollars. Only in America, right?”

About two years later Shlomo was in the center of a massive FBI sting involving a currency brokerage he had started that had been simply pocketing investors money since the 70s. He went to jail. Even my orthodox friends turn away and refuse to talk about him whenever I ask if they knew him.

– Scarcity. My feelings of safety and immortality quickly gave way to scarcity. After all, I thought, if I could make 10 million dollars then it must be too easy.

In fact, I honestly thought, everyone else had probably already made 11 million dollars. So then I felt poor again. I now needed 100 million dollars to be happy. I drove in a car with a friend of mine and his wife. I said, “everyone has 10 million dollars now.” She quickly said, “not everyone”.

– Friends. I lost some friends. Then I made some new friends. By the time I was going down in the elevator from my apartment that one last time, 100% of those new friends were destined to never speak to me again (at least through January 12, 2011).

My new friends said things like, “Mark Cuban is a stud” or “Fuck him. Take away all his shares” or “Good luck. Have a nice life” or “of course its legal!”

(one of many paintings I bought)

– The value of money. I realized (too late then, but I learned) that I never knew the value of money. I had never even been aware of money before. My prior goals had been playing games, making fun websites, or writing novels.

Then my only goal was money, money, money, and more money. I told my therapist at the time, in 2001, “its like losing a loved one” and she said, “sweetie, sounds like you’ve never really lost a loved one before.”

Money is a great thing. It’s the payoff on hard work, great luck (which is often earned luck) and you can do amazing things with it. Build new businesses, create jobs, buy your independence and freedom from corporate America.

But first you have to climb many hurdles, of which earning the money is only the first. Very few things are better than earning a lot of money.

Money finds a home only in places where it’s appreciated.

I didn’t appreciate the money. So it left me.

When we were in the car, driving to our new home back in 2002 it was in the middle of a snowstorm. I wanted to cry I felt so bad about what was happening.

But it was too much to think about. So for a brief moment I watched the snow and remembered what it was like to be a kid. Tasting the first snow of the year on the tip of my tongue.

FOR ME, GETTING RICH IS REALLY WORTH IT.

It makes life so comfortable and easy. There’s nothing as painful as not being able to provide for your loved ones.

Well it beats being poor but depends on the type of rich you mean. I am assuming you mean financial wealth by rich.

Allow me to draw an image for you ©️

There are three types of Rich and under each is another two sub types. You can be a mix of those.

Asset Rich

These guys are the type of people who have assets such as real-estates, shares, stocks or whatever type of financial papers.

They are normally in debt to buy anything by cridet cards or bank loans since liquidation (selling) any of their assets just takes long and cost money plus tax.

Under asset rich there are two sub categories.

Active Rich

Those poor souls are working day and night like slaves to their own wealth. For example a real-estates owner working to collect rents, maintenance, legal issues, late payments and installments to banks and what not. An investor or trader is stuck watching markets, doing research and study every move not to mention money management and risk management. Finally a CEO who owns a percentage of his company shares, that is basically the situation you get when you are at the end of a pirate sword pushing you towards the sharks. Work to increase the shares value or else.

Basically all asset active rich are like that. They are threatened always by debt or shareholders or risk.

Evaluation: potato 🥔\ 10 not worth it. Exhausting more than a day job.

Passive Rich

Remember the pirates who push the poor active rich poor to the sharks? Meet the passive asset rich people. They own assets but somone else has to risk their lives for it. Such as owning a share in real-estates fund rather than owning and managing it themselves. Investing funds to own companies and collect profits rather than bothering with what to buy what to sell.

Luffy wanting to be a pirate king has a whole new meaning to it now doesn't it.

Evaluation: One-piece/10 totally worth it. Downside you have to be already rich.

Cash Rich

Those are the type of people who have tons and I mean metric tobs of cash setting in their banks unless they are Pablo Escobar then pretty much stuffed in every nock and cranny they can find including under, above and in the bed. For example lottery winners, wealth inheritance or sold their company or assets.

Normally these people die poor unless they invest their wealth, let me pull my Moranometer for a sec.

This is how long their wealth lasts based on their IQ on what to do with it. If you thought mmmm I would buy … I have bad news for you. Otherwise if your first thought was I will invest in … then it will last.

The point is cash rich is a temporary state and normally it end up with Asset Rich , Revenue Rich or can you spare a dollar I was rich once you know.

There is again two types of sub rich in this category as well:

Active Rich

Those are the people who are either in transformation to become asset rich buying all sorts of assets or starting new revenue streams creating business and become revenue rich type.

Yet there is a third type who loves their money and try to stay in rich cash state for as long as they can. Forex investors and traders. They basically switch one type pf cash to another to make more cash. Basically breeding money for profit.

Evaluation: Ka-ching /10 worth it depending on your Moranometer score. Downside you have to be rich to begin with again.

Revenue Rich

Those people have a constant source of money coming to their pockets. This type has a wide diversity from employees with good jobs such as lawyers and business owners all the way to passive asset rich people. Their usual phrase is wait let me check my account to pay you.

And like the pervious types of rich they have 2 sub types as well:

Active Rich

These people are money hungry, money sharks that smells a penny a mile away. Always working always active always determined. Time is money, breathing is money, sleeping is for the weak, make money or you die type of people. Scary lot.

They go high in career ladder or do business or trade always hands on approach.

Evaluation: Exhausting/10 not worth it for the long term worth it for the short term. But this is where you start from unless you win lottery, inherent the money or find one piece.

Passive Rich

Unless you shit bricks of gold go back to Passive Asset Rich section. What you thought there is a way to make money sleeping having no money? Well there are ways to make money with minimal amounts and passively and those who make it are considered unicorns.

Examples of this is always tied up with talent such as making a game and it got picked up by famous influencers. Or you made a trading AI ahem that has long consistent streaks of winning growing your money. A piece of art that got the interest of a rich person as a good way to avoid tax. It's rare and require massive investment in your talent.

Evaluation: Gold pot at rainbow end/ 10 Worth a try. Downside it's really really rare success way.

Unless you have the passively asset rich status going on for you it's not worth it. Tons of work required you won't have a life UNLESS you found your ikigai in your wealth source then it's all worth it.

If you still insist upon getting rich anyways the hard way then allow me to part off with with a gift that shall help you with your quest o-brave one.

I am from Jaipur, Rajasthan and I have studied in IIT Kharagpur. When I joined college in 2013, I was introduced to my mother’s acquaintance who was in his 3rd year at that time and is a native of Jaipur too. With the fact that there are no direct trains from Kharagpur to Jaipur and being anxious about me travelling alone for the first time, she asked my senior to travel with me for one next time we come to Jaipur.

So, we travelled together during Durga Puja Holidays in college. We booked a train from Kharagpur to Delhi and from there we took a Volvo bus from Delhi to Jaipur.

While coming back to college, we would travel Jaipur to Delhi in a AC Chair Car and then take a train to Kharagpur.

This worked out well as we were able to split for cabs equally, carry luggage etc. And I and my senior had got each other’s company too. So we decided to travel together every time during holidays.

This went good for three years - as long as he was in college.

I was alone after he graduated and my father thought to go with me for one time till Delhi so that I could see where to drop and go further. That wasn’t needed though but well, for his assurance sake.

So we took a bus of Rajasthan Roadways from Jaipur to Iffco Chowk in Gurgaon. From there, we got into Delhi Metro and reached the station.

The condition of this bus is such that your hair will be full of sand after completing one trip. A bus may even stop in between because of some mechanical failure and one may even have to stay under sun the whole time until the next bus which, if happens to pass by the same route will take you to your destination. I have even travelled once without having a seat for more than half of time of journey because of this.

For two years, I travelled in this bus.

It was always an unpleasing and suffocating experience but I was OK with it and I never asked my parents to make me travel in an AC train or bus. I am not complaining about this but because the rest three in my family (sister and parents) also travel in the same, I understand it is equally tiring for them and that’s what is bothering me.

My sister studies architecture in Ansal University, Gurgaon. My father (or mother, if he is busy) goes with her in the same bus to drop her/pay her fees etc. and comes back in the same. They simply waste their (7+7) hours in just dropping my sister to her college. The journey is exhausting and my mother doesn’t feel like preparing food after coming home post this ordeal.

More than a daunting task to travel, it is disheartening to see my mother and father and sister to travel in this bus just because the ticket is cheap.

My father earns good – a seven-digit salary but he has seen extreme poverty in his times and so he values money. He is not a miser but a thrift. Same is with my mother.

As long as they do not realize that there is a third person in their family who earns equally well as they, they will never go for ways which are not the most economical.

So yes, if money can buy you comfort, more importantly for your loved ones than you, then getting rich is worth it.

Money cannot buy you all the happiness, but it surely buys to those who don’t have much and apparently in India, that constitutes the maximum population.

I own a 7-figure business and earn multiple six figures in profit every year so I guess that (at least according to the current U.S. tax brackets) I would be considered rich.

Was it worth it?

To me… yes.

People seem to forget that being rich really has very little to do with the amount of money that you have, but it has everything to do with the kind of lifestyle that you can afford.

Being “rich” I can

• Wake up when I want to
• Take days off when I need them
• Spend my afternoons biking along the beach
• Purchase expensive items without worrying about how much money I will have left
• Travel when I want and where I want
• Feel secure in my financial life and not stress about my next paycheck

Was it easy to get here?

No,

Do I personally feel that it’s worth it? Absolutely.

I think that every person must define for themselves what “Rich” means and understand that it’s not the number that matters, it’s what you are able to do because of that number.

If you work 85 hours a week at an office you dislike with only one week of vacation and earn $750,000 a year… Are you really rich?

I would say no.

If you live in a country outside of the U.S., work 35 hours a week and take a whole month off every year while only earning $100,000 are you really rich?

Based on my definition, yes!

Rich is relative and whether or not it’s worth it depends on your definition and your desires.

Money doesn't buy happiness.

Don’t believe me? See, the sadness on their faces. Don't let the mask of smile fool you.

They say, it's not the money, but when your kid stands first in his class, that's happiness.

Well, it's fine.

But why doesn't she talk ‘horse-sh*t' things like this.

Is getting rich worth it :

What do you think?

I think real happiness doesn't lie in chasing money.

Why would anyone want this life ?

Is

it?

Image Source: Loot Gaming

I don’t know, you tell me.

Money will help you in reaching the top of your field—Money will help you in making a difference quicker than ever—Money will get you out of struggles—You see, it gives you recognition and power.

Money is like a magical wand.

If you are earning 2,00,000 Rs a month it means you are among the 1% of entire India's Population - 1.3 Crore People

Being rich is not as cool as we think. The moment we are eligible to buy a car of 50 Lakh we really don’t look at two-wheeler of 50k, just like that once you cross a limit of few crores a month everything around you is that value of 50k two-wheeler, not worth buying.

The fun is totally being able to create wealth on your own and divert the wealth to needy the way you wish, which most of the philanthropists practice after crossing a few million $ revenue.

In short, its good to be rich but not a must to be, being a good human on this earth is enough :)

1. Wealth does not make you happy.
2. It’s freaking exhausting to be an entrepreneur or businessman.

So, NO.

But it’s always better to cry in the back of your Lamborghini instead of your mother’s basement.

Your Dream Lifestyle: The Foundation of Your Online Business

This will help you in determining the kind of business model that most effectively aligns with your values.

Your Distinct Perspective On Life: The Secret to Standing Out in a Competitive Market

No one on this planet has the exact life, experience, knowledge, or personality as you do.

This implies that you have a one-of-a-kind viewpoint that you can bring to the world.

Adopting this distinctiveness is essential for making your web-based business apart from the competition and capturing a loyal audience.

Start by determining your passions, strengths, and areas of expertise.

Think about the topics or niches that sincerely fascinate you, and consider how your personal experiences and understanding can add to these fields.

As a newbie aiming to make money on the internet, one of the most major hurdles you might face is beating procrastination and making the first step.

To combat this, set realistic goals and split them down into smaller, actionable tasks.

Creating a routine and integrating time-management techniques can also be beneficial in staying focused and maintaining momentum.

One method to defeating procrastination is the Pomodoro Technique, where you work in concentrated, timed intervals (usually 25 minutes) followed by a short break.

This method can aid you sustain productivity while also avoiding burnout.

Facing Challenges: Building Resilience and Remaining Motivated

Digital entrepreneurship is not constantly easy, and there will likely be difficulties and obstacles along the way.

When faced with challenges, it’s crucial to preserve a positive mindset and view these barriers as possibilities to learn and grow.

Look for support from your network of friends and mentors, and remind yourself of your “why” – the inspiring force behind your desire to start an internet side hustle.

For example, if you encounter a technical difficulty with your website, take it as an opportunity to learn more about web development and improve your skills in this area.

By adopting problems as learning experiences, you’ll become more resilient and adaptable as an entrepreneur.

Documenting Your Progress: A Blueprint to Success

As you embark on your online entrepreneurship journey, it’s important to track your progress.

By monitoring of your milestones, setbacks, and lessons learned, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

This knowledge will be invaluable as you refine your tactics and make data-driven decisions for your side hustle.

One technique for Documenting your progress is to maintain a journal or a digital log.

Consistently update this record with your achievements, challenges, and any insights you gain along the way. You can also use project management tools like Trello or Asana to visually order and track your tasks, targets, and progress.

Choosing the Right Business Model: Finding the Right Fit for You

The success of your online side hustle largely depends on Selecting a business model that aligns with your desired lifestyle and unique perspective.

There are countless side hustle models to choose from, each with its own set of advantages and difficulties.

Money is a Time Machine

It shortens the amount of time you will wait for an event to occur.

Whether it’s finding a mate

Starting a business

Finding a cure

Or changing policy

Money can help you get to you reach your goals in a shorter amount of time.

The world would be a better place if protestors and revolutionaries decided to be entrepreneurs instead.

They would be able to fund their benevolent causes. Making the system work for them instead of demanding that system change through outcry and violence.

Controlling political discussions with their wallets which is shown to have a more of a lasting effect than civil disobedience.

Even non-profits, who have benevolent ambitions listed in their charters must bend to the winds of their wealthy benefactors.

Think about this - Bill Gates has saved 122,000,000 lives.

That’s three times the population of California.

How was he able to do this?

By becoming one of the most wealthy people in history.

If you want to change the world, get rich.

It’s not the only way to make an impact, but it’s definitely the easiest.

Hell! Yeah!

Getting rich is worth not because of these cliches.

These are just hypes that when you'd get rich you would buy these things. Well you can but when you're rich you can actually get the sense of satisfaction. It isn't about getting rich it is about having purchase power.

How many times did you have that thought in the middle of night that let's order something either from dominos, pizza hut or McDonald's?

Yeah! 90% of the time you have had that thought but did you order no. You didn't. Well you never did order because you wanted to make sure you're pocket money / salary you had to make sure it lasted until next month's.

You wanted to buy something for your parents and you had to save money every month? Why is it worth getting rich you ask?

Let me explain it to you.

• You live longer.

Studies show that rich people outlive the other people by 20 years. That's alot of years to live a significant life.

• You do better in academic life.

Wealthier individuals can afford expensive tutors that help them get ahead of others, so next time your mom and dad says that look at my boss's child he's doing better than you, you know what to say.

• You don't have to worry about health issues as much.

There are ofcourse plenty of diseases that can kill you no matter what your net worth might be but it is alot less likely to die than an untreated infection than you can't afford at a high end doctor.

• You pay lower taxes

The rich are smart people they worked really hard for their money and they do not part with it that easily they have an entire system set in place that prevents government from taking as big of a cut as they do in case of other individuals.

• You eat better food.

If you have money you can afford better food. Not available to the larger population. Healthier food is also a lot more expensive than fast food these days. So the sooner you get wealthier the sooner you can enjoy healthier food.

• You have a greater chance of surviving a car accident.

If you do decide to do the driving although rich people have a chauffer you're likely to drive a higher end vehicle that dramatically increases the chances of walking out alive from the accident.

• You don't have to worry about debt.

You don't have to take out a loan while paying for anything studies, house, cars etc.

• You get to drive your dream car.

You know that dream car you had in that poster on your wall or phone, rich people have that and a few more in their garage. They don't even drive them every day just when they feel like it.

• You can do more for the world.

As wealthy individual you can make a difference and make an impact upon the world. Your contributions doesn't only counts for your country but the whole world.

• You don't have to worry about bills.

Bills take care of themselves. Wealthy individuals have accountant and financial advisors to take care of their best interests. Their financial life is sorted.

• You can afford a really good lawyer.

A good lawyer can make most of the problems go away, so choose when you say that he's rich he'll get away yeah! That's right because he has a goddamn good lawyer you have it and even you can get away.

• You can provide for your family

Your family has their basic needs fulfilled so they can focus on personal growth.

• You have access to the latest technology.

• You can travel the world.

Emerge yourself into a completely different cultures and learn as much as possible about the world making you alot less ignorant of how just similar are we in core values.

• You can actually follow your passion.

No matter what you always dreamed of doing you're free to do soo. Because you no longer need to work for the things you don't love because you don't have to worry about your livelihood.

• You get to meet famous people.

The best perk of getting rich is that you get to hang out with famous people and even work with them.

• You have homes in countries.

2nd home somewhere far away with gorgeous view while most are still gonna work hard to pay their house mortgage. You own several properties around the world where you can relax and enjoy the view.

• You don't have to look at the price tag.

If you have to look at the price tag you aren't rich, rich people buy the things they want to. They don't have to look at the price tag.

• You Fly Private

No more trains, Buses or fear of missing your flight. You have your own plane ready to go whenever you need.

• Your sex life is a hell lot better. Don't believe me. Here you go.

For example Dan Bilzerian is a living example although money can't buy love but it can buy amazingly hot sex.

• You can buy beauty to some degree. Although it cannot alter genetics.... Yet

Money has improved the track record of beautification.

• You don't work for the money, money works for you.

Compound interests, real estate, shares, bonds etc. Anything that pays you are your most loyal soldiers. They make your lifestyle possible without you doing anything.

• You are free.

Above everything else money has become the instrument of freedom money is key to opening doors that others can't open. The alternate possible to see the world.

Footnotes

If your goal is to get rich- or earn a lot of money- it’s not worth it.

I’ll give an example from one of the best movies ever made: Forrest Gump

One day, Forrest starts running because he wanted to clear his mind after Jenny had left him.

1 month later: He kept running.

1 year later: He kept running.

He became famous. No one knew the reason why he was running. But he was. People started following him.

After more than 3 years had passed, suddenly, he stopped.

People thought that they would get to know the reason of his running. But he just says: I am tired. I want to go home.

And he goes back.

There was no objective behind his running for more than three years. He just kept doing it. It was direction less. He reached one end of the road- and he will turn back and keep running. This was aimless. He didn’t enjoy the journey, and if you look the people who supported him- they too didn’t get anything in return.

Now, consider this as a run to become rich:

You don’t know where you want to reach.

You keep running.

There is no particular direction/path. You just want to keep running ahead.

You keep running.

You don’t stop.

You keep running to earn more and more money.

You keep running towards the goal of becoming rich (The goal that doesn’t have a finishing line.)

Now, after running this long just ‘to become rich’:

Just pause for a second and think whether you actually enjoyed running? What did you achieve on the path? Are you happier? Are you satisfied?

No, you aren’t satisfied as there is no finishing line.

Then, you realize that there was no motive for you to become rich.

Now, if you have a goal that by becoming rich:

• You want to help poor.
• You want to generate employment opportunities.
• You want to bring smile on the faces of people surrounding you.

Then this run is worthy,

So, it all depends on the motive behind becoming rich.

If you are in politics, power will give you more happiness than money.
If you are an athlete, becoming on top of your sport will give you more happiness than money.
If you are a saint, spreading a right message will give you more happiness.

Thus, motive matters. The objective- the milestones- the goal- this is what makes the journey satisfactory.

So, depending on the objective that gives you the most pleasure- becoming rich is worth it.

Its worth it if you are getting there slowly.

Now this might sound a bit weird but let me explain.

Money has a diminishing effect, the more money you make the less you value it.I make a good amount of money right now but honestly speaking I was much happier when I want from making zero to some money.

When I was in college I used to think if I should skip coffee in the short break just to save a few bucks.

When friends asked me to join them for a movie I always had an excuse just because I had no money. It was quite painful and frustrating at the same time.

I remember my friends getting jobs during campus placements getting upto 5–6 LPA package where as I had no plans for the future and was still wondering how am I going to make money and start a business when I had no cash in hand.

There were a lot of problems in my life which only money could solve, there was no other way around it.

As soon as I started making a little money my problems started to vanish, now I could hang out with friends buy any books which I want get a decent internet connection and so on.

Going from zero to something was a great feeling, I was confident that if I could make a few dollars then I could make thousands as well.

The feeling of being able to make money was more important and fulfilling as compared to the money itself.

Now I make a lot more than I used to make previously but as I said the happiness/ dollar diminishes as you make more.

Read my other answers:

Saurav Sharma's answer to What is it like to earn 50 LPA in India?

There was a man who saved money all his life. He kept thinking “When I retire I'll enjoy all this saved money.”

When he retired, he had millions in his bank account. Suddenly someone knocks the door.

Man : Who are you?

Death: I've come to take you. Your days are over.

Man: No, you can't take me right now. I never enjoyed the money. I need some time to spend all this money. Atleast give me one month.

Death: Sorry, I cannot grant you one month.

Man: Atleast give me one day.

Death: No I can't give even a moment.

And finally the man dies.

Even with millions, he could not buy a single moment of life. This was narrated by T.T. Ragaranjan in his video “what's in a day?”

To really know if it worth getting rich or not, we need to ask this question to someone who is rich. So let's look at some people who are rich and what do they say:

• Jim Carrey

• Bob Marley -

• Benjamin Franklin

The great poet “Surendra Sharma” once said - “There was time when money was a necessity to live the life. The problem is that today we have made money the only necessity to live the life.”

Money is not synonymous to happiness.

While reading the book The winnner stands alone by Paulo Coelho, I came across one line which I would share here -

“People are never satisfied. If they have a little, they want more. If they have a lot, they want still more. Once they have more, they wish they could be happy with little, but are incapable of making the slightest effort in that direction.”

Is getting rich worth it?

You decide.
