Default Being Rich

"Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be." - Rita Rudner

OK I admit it. Sometimes I sit back with my eyes closed and just imagine being super rich. Not a million dollars rich. Billions like Bill Gates rich. You know, where you don't have to even consider if something is too expensive. Where stores open up especially for you to shop. I guess it doesn't hurt to dream.

I'm not sure that I dream of being rich, but I think everyone daydreams about having a bit more money now and then. There are times when I wish I did, but for the most part I'm satisfied with my current finances.

I dream or hope that I had enough money not to worry about making big purchases. To be able to live like the Jones and pay for it all in cash

I always said that I wouldn't know what I'd do first if I ever won the lottery. I have thought about it and there really isn't much I truly long for. I would love to have a luxurious exercise room. I would want mauve colored carpet, a tv/dvd set up, eliptical training machine, and a rack for my dumbbells. I would want that lazer hair removal done on my legs so I would never have to shave again. The eye surgery so I wouldn't have to wear glasses would be oh so cool.

Not really anything that would add up to that much money. I guess I can say that I am pretty happy with my life.

Everyone does dream of having a bit more at least. Gallup did a poll of how much more money people said they would need to be happy. They interviewed people who made $30,000 up to $150,000. They all said they needed just about 10% more.

They say money can't buy happiness, but I'm still aching to try!

I don't know if I dream of being rich, but there are times when I wish I had more money than I did right now. If purchasing everything I had interest in could be done without a second thought, that would be nice. That is a dream I'd like to attain.
