But what I was thinking is that if this is true about few giving a second thought about being rich, why then do we have a national obsession with LOTO and other forms of gambling and why when any credit is extended to most people do they grab it with both hands and immediately use it to command material resources.
I think that rather than few really giving a second thought to being rich, almost everyone gives a lot of thought to it, they just don't think the right way. And they don't want to be rich, to be rich, they want to be rich to spend money.
As they say - everyone wants to be a millionaire so they can spend a million dollars, which is the very opposite.
We live in a material world and virtually everyone would love to have a flash house, 2 flash cars, luxurious overseas holidays and the social status of wealth, so rather than few, I counter almost all.
