Suffering isn't due to money. Money doesn't do anything. Its what we think of money, and how, that's the problem.
True wealth can be determined by what you have left when you have no money.
There are some Rich that are arrogant but also a lot of poor people that are arrogant too. Its a human affliction.
Desire is the cause of all suffering (Buddhism).
It's not up to the Rich to lower interest rates.
The rich might get richer but that because they know how. Some of them also become poor, but because they know how to create financial wealth, they can climb back up to being rich again.
Creating wealth (in whatever area of your life) is determined by you, how you think and how you conduct your life.
If you don't have the right wealth creation mindset you are unlikely to become wealthy.
If you become wealthy by accident it is likely you'll not hold onto that wealth for long.
How many times have you heard people winning the lottery and within 12 - 24 months have nothing left?
We all live as we think we should.
Many of us have a poverty creation mindset.
What is THE most important thing in your life?
Write down the top ten with the most important at number one.
How far down the list is money?
Any wonder that you might not be financially wealthy?
Most of us (I imagine) put family, happiness, first.
The 13 steps to riches (Napoleon Hill):
- desire - everything starts with this, a thought.
- faith - believe that you can do it, can get there
- auto-suggestion - your subconscious has to be onboard for this one
- specialised knowledge
- imagination
- organised planning
- decision - decide to go ahead
- persistence - and keep to that decision, no matter what
- power of the mastermind - others of like mind are a great help to work with
- the mystery of sex transmutation - a higher reason for creating wealth. Doing for something/one other than ourselves.
- the subconscious mind
- the brain
- the sixth sense
The book 'Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is a great read.
Every single person can make a difference on their own. Everyone does.
When enough want the same thing, it becomes more likely and more possible.
Think about what you do want, not what you don't. If you think about what you don't want, that's what you're gonna get - what you don't want.
Be grateful for the good AND the bad. Without the bad there can't be a concept of good. And what lessons would there be to learn without the bad?
It adds incentive to life (lol).

Sangita, My life is meaningful, however you seem to have taken this me stereotyping. I was trying to argue that the rich are arrogant and that they think they have it all, philosophically speaking. Which is what this medium is all about is it not? I don't hate anyone except those with ignorance to what is happening around us every minute of everyday. There is a philosophical politeness in society that exist in you and others, seem to think everything is ok it's the individual and the perception of that individual. Well if i took your source of income and everything you have including your family and friends. I would like to see how philosophical you will be then and see if that chirpy nature you seem to exhibit freely without consideration to the recipient. This may sound extreme to you but that what happens to a lot of people everyday. Houses are re-possesed wages are not enough to cover even with two working. The mighty dollar rules supreme...to protect the rich. Sure tell me you know of rich people who seem to be good people. That's not the arguement. The argument is that what are they doing to make the interest rates drop to develop a fair system of tax and benefits how are they making others better off. There is a lot of unessecery suffering due to money. If the rich did not benefit from all the tax havens and offshore accounts ect and was bound by the country which housed them it maybe a different story then we can talk about that.
