You look around and see cars being sold for 80 grand and up, knowing that, that is as much as some people make in a year. Expensive houses, useless items that people buy that are overpriced. But then you ask yourself... "Is being rich really that difficult?", you see all of these expensive items that may seem impossible to acquire for lower classes, but yet sell a 260K lamborghinis, or 5 million dollar mansions every day, no problem.


I guess what I'm asking is...

If you see all of this stuff being sold, and consumer, it makes you think that there really is a ton of rich people out there.

Is becoming rich so hard after all?


And please don't take that as an insult, like "Oh, lets see you do it!", if anything I think it's more enlightening and motivating.
