Hellobee Boards

I would love to be wealthy. I know it doesn't bring happiness, but it sure does help take a lot of stress away. The only stress in my life right now is in a financial aspect.

@Mrs. Bee: I know that everything I read says that money doesn't equal happiness but in my heart I don't believe it

I would like to be wealthy, but I of course would settle for comfortable. Sometimes I wish I could take the income we make now and move to a way less expensive city than NYC and then we'd be very comfortable.

I don't think it's bad, it's kind of something we've been socialized to want. Who doesn't want to provide for their family? I want a house, to pay off my student loans, and have my daughter's college paid for.

Unfortunately most of my get rich ideas are more like Lucy's schemes

mo money, mo problems! haha. i have no desire to be super wealthy. i'd love to own a home outright with no mortgage & be able to pay for most of our kids college & travel. i have seen the nasty side of both financial extremes, i don't want anything extreme, i strive for simplicity. i don't think i'll ever buy a brand new car or $1,000 purses, but i'd like to be able to afford to enjoy retirement when the time comes in a small home and travel and enough to cover a retirement home should i ever need one

I'd be happy between very wealthy and really really wealthy

But even that is subjective-- what I consider very wealthy is a lot less than what dh considers very wealthy. But I want to own a really nice house with great schools and a good yard, cars that we like, and to pay for our kids colleges and take vacations when we want. And to stay a SAHM as long as I want to.

I would like to be somewhere just below obscenely wealthy. While I'm aware money does not equal happiness, money does equal pretty things and I like pretty things. Lol!I would love to have enough money so that I didn't have to work any longer and could live more than comfortably.

I'd be happy with comfortable. Even so, we're still a long ways off and I think we already have a pretty great life so comfortable would just take away some stress.

Realistically? How abour ridiculously comfortable. Haha. I think it is all relative though, no? Right now we are comfortable (small mortgage, no debt, no worries about retirement) and sometimes i wish we had more money (custom dream house, anyone?) but i know there will be tradeoffs, like longer work hours and not having much family time. I dont think i can give up the work-life balance for more money!

I'd love to be ridiculously wealthy. Like Mrs Bee I want to be able to take care of my family. I would love to travel the world in style every year. And I'd love to be able to hire some help around the house and "outsource" tasks that I don't want to do: lawn, cleaning, cooking... Sigh, too bad I didn't win the mega millions earlier this year
