Nothin' Wrong with Wealth

Is money that evil?

I remember when I was a child. I used to read Richie Rich comic books. I even watched his animated TV series back in those days.

For those not familiar with him, Richie Rich is the son of unbelievably wealthy parents, who live in a mansion at Richville, and is considered the world's richest kid.

Richie Rich and his family almost has everything a wealthy family could possibly have - a big mansion, a number of pools, cars, high-end appliances, even butlers who serve him from morning till night. He even has a dalmatian which has dollar signs on it instead of spots!

The Poor Little Rich Boy doesn't look evil to me.

While many would comment about the exaggeration of a life that Richie Rich has, there may sometimes be envy among those who want to be like Richie Rich. Maybe his fortunes are just too great enough to think that having all those can be an indicator that not everyone is privileged to have such wealth.

Or maybe it's because... Richie Rich has been negatively stereotyped to be a bad example of having wealth.

In short, getting rich can be as evil as other people thought it would be.

The Best Time to Start

Usually, when I am out of books to read because I have not borrowed or purchased one lately, I tend to re-read another book. That book I want to re-read depends on what I am looking forward to re-learn as I venture into a field that may look unknown to me. But I am fully aware of the risks and potential that come with such field.

While waiting for my application to invest in the stock market, I decided to read one of Bo Sanchez' latest masterpiece in financial education (and also a must-read if you want to be truly rich):

The Turtle Always Wins: How to Make Millions in the Stock Market

It was a pretty good investment for my part because it has been in my possession since buying it last July. Now I have come to a point where I make the real financial investment - by investing in the stock market. With Brother Bo's vision to make others become multimillionaires and the guidance in going into such opportunity, I believe I would prosper in such field and in return, be able to help others prosper as well.
