If you can’t take it with you, what’s the point of trying to build lasting wealth?

Soros and Bill Gates are giving away all their money.

And what is wrong with that? Must be awesome to have so much money you can easily give away massive amounts for great causes to help humanity.

First, i hope i have enough money so my kids and grandkids don't have to work a day in their life

I know a few ppl who will never have to work, and instead they follow their passions with reckless abandon (mainly art and world travel) because they have that opportunity... and they are happier than you and I will ever be, because of it

Not true at all

If u got enough money to acquire a bunch of shite, you got enough money to pay somebody to look after it

I know a guy with 2 houses and 2 condos... he does favors for friends, and they take care of his shite when he's not around... pretty simple

Soros does more harm than good with his money.

I think earning your own way produces true happiness. Anyone who was left a trust fund is a bum on some level.

Giving your future bloodline a head start. Having influence on your political beleifs and charitable causes.

I was to change my family tree.

I still want future generations to work hard and earn, invest, save and give their money just like others before me.

I’m guessing you don’t either.

My parents were born during the Great Depression so they carry a lot of lessons that their parents passed on to them. Their goal was to live comfortable lives but pass on as much wealth as possible to their children. Save money, take vacations, have a good home, wear good clothes, etc. but don’t get a Lexus sedan when a Camry will do the same thing. My parents retired approximately 15 years ago and have more wealth now than when they retired.

I can’t imagine what level of selfishness it would take to spend all my money on luxuries while my kids go without. I’m not talking about spoiling them but I don’t expect them to have to work their way through college (unless they choose to) and leave with massive debt.

Just my opinion.
