World's richest woman Gina Rinehart is enduring a media firestorm over an article in which she takes the "jealous" middle class to task for "drinking, or smoking and socializing" rather than working to earn their own fortune.
What if she has a point?
Steve Siebold, author of "How Rich People Think," spent nearly three decades interviewing millionaires around the world to find out what separates them from everyone else.
It had little to do with money itself, he told Business Insider. It was about their mentality.
"[The middle class] tells people to be happy with what they have," he said. "And on the whole, most people are steeped in fear when it comes to money."

  Are you on your way to becoming a rich person, using their mindset?   

[Jesse]

Although, for me personally. I think its a pure tragity that desire creates. If you desire to be wealthy, then fine but don't shove your ethics about money on the rest of us you rich fucks. While I wouldn't mind having lots of dough I'm not going to worry about it or change who I am just to get wealthy

[Icequeen]

Good article.

It's not about changing who you are, just how you think.

[Pyraxis]

Average people see money through the eyes of emotion. Rich people think about money logically.

I wanted a hell of a lot more detail on what he meant by that.

Interesting article I can add another thing about rich people from years of experience working on their homes in one of the richest parts of the a lot of them are fucking bat shit crazy 

[Pyraxis]

What kind of bat shit crazy?

[Parts]

I have seen or worked on  houses built to look like a circus tent, an espresso maker and a quaint Adirondack cabin blown up to 28,000 square feet.  Houses built exactly like their other houses in other cities filled with the same things in the same places, houses with cameras everywhere and this was 2o years ago with  all the doors including the closets were wired with alarm wires.  They do some pretty strange stuff

[Pyraxis]

 

I never want to be that kind of rich.

no.  If I had too uncheck I'd just give it away.  Try to help people with it.  I can't be rich. I care about others.

The problem with caring about people is that people are dicks.  They will take advantage of your compassion without fail. 
Caring is a terrible habit. I can't seem to break it. 

Forgive me if I'm a bit pessimistic ATM.  I tend to care way too much and it has burnt me pretty badly recently.  I've put it behind me, but I'm still wary of human beings. Don't trust 'em. Vicious wild beasts.

im not afraid of getting the short end of the stick.  Life is full of transactions.  We literally make millions of them in our lifetime. 
I believe that things turn out pretty equal in the end...you get as much as you give.  You lose as much as you take. 
I'm under no illusion that money is everything.  There is also dignity, pride, joy, etc. you name it.
I'd be happy providing for my family and having a small circle of people that truly care about me.


Don't lose that caring spirit, aspie mommy, it'll work out for you in the end.  :smile:

There are some people out there that aren't dicks they can be hard to spot but after awhile you can pick them out with reasonable success as for the rest fuck them

I'll agree to that one.

I've seen some crazy shit also that made me feel totally sane.

  But because they are rich, they get to call themselves  "eccentric."
