I think he just doesn't want annoying people to pay too much attention to his money.

Doesn't matter how rich you are, you still have to worry about the money.

I would be happy to help him with his problem.

[Haku]

DOH! Ima beat me to it!

He has got enought for both of us, haku!![Automated by GetSmile]

[elcheapo]

he has an awesome responsiblity as the saying goes "too whom much is given much is required"

[getforfree]

So, he wants to be poor now?

[jmjj215]

It'd be great to be rich and not have anyone know about it - it'd also probably be impossible. Never go public.

Just think I wouldn't have to worry about ANY bill, EF, housework...geez JoyJoy you could sing "Joy to the World" every day instead of at Christmas! Bill why don't you get the SavingAdvice roster and divide with us equally? We can take away all of your money woes/regrets

hilaruous JoyJoy! How cool would that be if he did, sometimes I hate to dream about stuff like that.

[JoyJoy]

Never know Ski, someone might direct him to this board since we're all savers and what better gift to give us than to FUND our individual accounts? He can write us off as charitable deductions. (:

excellent, I can easily be someones charity!

He could throw a mil my way if he wants. I'd pay off quite a few bills and have plenty left over. Heck, I wouldn't mind if he threw 100g my way.

Let's have a party at my house and invite him over!!

You still have to worry about bills & housework when you're that rich... The gas and electricity bills to heat your whole house are probably outrageous! not to mention your housekeeper would probably want frequent raises as you build more wings on your house

Gates is rich, but it's all tied up in theoretical money. I doubt he has the liquid assets everyone assumes he does.

[Ima saver]

If I were rich, i would not want a house any bigger than I have now. I love my house. I would still turn off the hot water heater all day. I would hire someone to come and clean the house once a week. I have hired people before, but they did not do a good job!
I don't think lots of money would change me!

[jmjj215]

If I did have a lot more money, I would definitely pay someone to do housework (except cleaning - my wife is an absolutely awesome cook). I mean things like dusting, vacuuming, laundry, etc. Oh - and ironing. Oh! And they'd handle the dry cleaning for me as well. I hate the whole process.

Bill Gates is a wonderful philanthropist and is doing AMAZING things for thw world.

BUT

He chooses to be rich.

AND

this comment would grate severly on anyone who has had a child die through lack of money.
