Being Wealthy

An usual and very common dream is to win the lottery. Sounds great having tons of money, but I believe it can have so many advantages as disadvantages. I would like to make a social research to find out if wealthy people enjoy having so much money.

The main advantage of being really wealthy is that you don’t have to ask yourself: can I afford it? If I were wealthy, I would spend most of my time and money traveling around the world with my family and friends (separately, of course). Also I would like to buy a lot of books without being worry about their price. Apart from this, I believe that with so much money I could help to solve some social problems. Particularly, I would like to build and maintain outstanding schools for children and people who cannot afford private education, especially poor children in social risk.

In the other side, having tons of money can be a headache. I imagine that wealthy people sometimes don’t know what to do with their money, so they spend it in stupid ways. What is more, some very rich people believe that they can buy everything with their money, even people, moral values, respect or happiness. There is a saying that mentions something like: more money, more responsibilities. In some aspects that can be true, I think that some wealthy people don’t have enough time to enjoy their money with their family and friends, because they can be really busy increasing their fortune, or attending to social events, that they might not have time to themselves.

In conclusion, I believe that if I were a wealthy person, I will be an eccentric one to avoid any socials expectation. In that way, I won’t have to follow the socials standards, which will give me enoght time to do whatever I wish with the money.
