RE: Off the Hook

I have this idea that most of the people who want to be "rich" actually just want that same thing (not have to worry about money/be able to just buy what they want or go on holiday or take their kids on whatever experiences without having to figure out what they're going to go without to be able to make that happen if it's even a possibility at all).

Which may be why most people think they would be "good" rich people as they probably would be.

there are probably good obscenely wealthy people too but apparently we never want to hear about anything good

Sort:  

I think you are right. "Rich" isn't a practical label, it is meaningless. It is the practical things - what "richness" buys that matters and most people probably don't want that much.
