If you ask most poor people who blame society for the fact that they can't afford the home entertainment system they've been coveting with the income they receive from their welfare checks, they'll tell you that the rich live comfortably and luxurious without having to lift a finger. However, since the only rich people they see are the ones from their favorite soap operas, one can't take them seriously. I, however, personally know at least two rich individuals and the example they set for me lead me to decide that I do not want to be rich. I've known them to work much more than forty hours a week. I think they've even worked fourteen-hour days! Now, I want to be rich, but I can't ever see myself working that hard. As long as I'd be able to afford to indulge in most of my desires, I'd be happy with a five-figure income. After all, as poor people often say but never actually believe, there's more to life than money, and one can live comfortably and happily without being ridiculously rich.
