Being Rich For Happiness

This post is in response to someone who mentioned that wealth does not beget happiness.

My point is that wealth does not NECESSARILY beget happiness vs wealth does not beget happiness are 2 different issues.

Being at the bottom of the capitalist chain is definitely an unhappy event. At least trying to get rich and reaching the top would be far better off.

I have never defined happiness in terms of wealth. To me, getting rich is simply a challenging process. Getting rich is like a journey that an athletic undergoes. The journey satisfaction outweights the reward.

I guess happiness to me will mean getting married and having kids and then retiring in peace.
