Are you sure those in those wealthy country are rich because of their rich uncle? Even so, if they are rich, they must be doing something better to keep the wealth. Wealth represents hard work and good decisions. Poverty represents laziness. There are exceptions, but overall your wealth represents the good things you have accomplished.

I sure didn’t say they were all there due to their rich uncle.

When you say poverty represents laziness I would have to ask you what you consider poverty. If it is an income level then you are dead wrong. If it is an entitlement attitude that someone else needs to provide for them then I would agree. I know people who choose to do things with their life that bring little financial reward, some of their choices involve very hard work. As long as people don’t expect others to finance their choices I see no relationship of poverty to laziness. Lifestyle is about choices, some choose to do what makes them happy and know they are giving up some or many financial rewards. It really isn’t all about money to everyone.

You seriously believe wealth- as in money and possessions is any indication of good things a person has done? Really? How does that fit with the wealth of mobsters, drug dealers, and other criminals? In spite of the saying- sometimes crime really does pay and can buy some really nice trimmings. Some wealth represents hard work and good decisions, some wealth represents being born into the right family some represents being willing to sell their soul to the devil.

Some of the finest people I have known have been dirt poor. Some of the finest people I have known have been extremely wealthy. Some of the sorriest people I have known have been dirt poor. Some of the sorriest people I have known have been extremely wealthy. Wealth or poverty are not indicators of character, or work ethic- good or bad.

As to wealthy people doing “something better to keep their wealth” how do you know they are keeping their wealth? You would have to really know someone over a period of time to know that. Many very wealthy people have died poor so they must not have always done something better than others.
