Fear of wealth. - 08-29-06
permalink
I went to a party with some friends I knew from college the other day, and hadnt seen in quite some time. As I talked to them and related to them my plans to make money and start up businesses and become wealthy by the time i am 30, they acted like i had just kicked thier family dog or something and made sure to let me know that they didnt need money, that they were happy being comfortable, and that they woudlnt ever want to be rich.

I have been seeing this attitude ALL over the place now that I am looking for it, from many close people I know. What the hell is that? Whats wrong with wanting to be rich and wanting to have lots of money?
