Wealthy & Empty Lives

Why do super rich people seem to live such empty lives? Even if their lives are not empty, they feel empty. I know that not all rich people feel this way, but a lot of them do. I don't have the statistics to back up my statements, just what I seen or heard. I know money can't buy everything. It won't save us from sickness and death. It can cause untold miseries, like breaking up families and relationships.

I want to think that money can't change me, that I will still be the same person I am today if and when I do become rich. (I don't think I will become rich though.) But sometimes I wonder if I can become corrupted and soiled by greed.

Overall I think rich people should be happier than us poor folks because they can buy more, travel more, spend more time with loved ones and has greater access to good medical care. But I don't know. Me, I just want to have enough, not too rich and not too poor. But if I get blessed with millions and millions of dollars, I'll send each of you a check. :D

I hope that is a promise. We should put it in writing, if you ever become rich, you need to send me a check. Extra money sounds nice. :)

How do you know if rich people lives are empty? I personally don't know anyone with millions of dollars so I can't say I believe they have empty lives or not. But I do know that people, no matter rich or poor, all go through pretty much the same struggles and have the same desires and needs. We need friends and families, food, shelter, something to do with our lives, we are all wired to be social. Money is just something people connect to best, great, or ideal, but it's the free things that we really need I think.

We all have problem whether were poor or rich. The only reason its seem that the rich are having trouble in their rich lives is because they are so rich that their affairs goes on television or newspaper. We can't expect all rich to be fulfilled since they also get rejected and dumb by their fellow rich people too. They have money, but they can't buy the other rich people's affection. They deal with rich people that don't need to look at their face either.

Well one thing I noticed when you have money is, everyone wants to be your friend. Everyone wants a piece of the wealth you have, even if they don't like you. As long as they get some of the money, they will pretend to like you until your out.

Hey Hamster, there are a lot of rich Chinese at Alhambra and Monterey Park. The new houses built in those two areas are close to a million buck now. It cost a lot to buy those houses here because a lot of Chinese wants to live here. The prices just goes up with the demand.

I can tell you that these rich Chinese are very happy with their lives, don't feel empty at all. :D
They are living their lives to the fullest. :cool: A lot of nice cars on the road. <3+<3

Rich people are not happy because they can't get what they want with money. I'm not rich or have the best of everything, but I can say that I'm happy with my life 100% because I have a chance to be rich and live good with a guy that loves me. I chose to be poor instead. What I love isn't money or nice stuff. Its being with the guy I love even if it's living poor. So that must be what I'm happy with. Yes, I'm struggling to get things that I want that only money can buy, but those things I can live without and still be happy.

Losing my beloved will make my life empty. If those rich people find the one person they love and not just marry anyone with status like them, their lives won't be empty.

Britney Spears is rich but her lives is empty because the guy she love is not there and left her. Jennifer Aniston lost her husband so her life is empty for that time period. Just like the poor, the rich needs real love to be fulfilled.
