Topic: Is being rich synonymous to laziness? (Read 507 times)
Im pretty sure its the opposite unless you`re not some kind of a rich kid who got everything for free. Rich people just dont stop or retire.
If you got rich by accident then sure, you might get lazy because of that.
Lazy is a lack of motivation, if you really want to break it down. There are many "lazy" who work all the time, and part of that is because they don't have the motivation to push forward. Though I don't want to sound as I'm putting those people down, because they're not truly lazy like those who simply give up. But what I'm trying to say is that there are people who are rich because they couldn't take the 40 hour grind and did something about it, while others accepted it.
I can't answer you on that one. However, one of my old lecture always tell us that programmers are lazy. Indeed, as a developer, I believe the biggest reason why I choose to join this industry (and play this specific role) is because I am lazy. :p.
No, I don't think being rich makes one lazy. As a matter of fact, it pushes the rich to become more greedy and to acquire more. Ask the rich if they consider themselves to be rich enough to rest and to lavish on their hard-earned money. I bet, no one will say, "Yes! I'm already rich, so I gotta stop here and retire." Still, they continue to make money by working harder than they used to be. They spend their whole life making more and more money, 'coz this grants them a sense of security and satisfaction.
Well it depends on how did you get those money. You got them by luck in a lottery or worked hard for them. Rich people that worked hard for their prosperity are not lazy.
it noRMally depends on the person.
Rich people who received money by inheritance are often very lazy. Those who have earned their millions on their own, on the contrary, are ready to work hard and diligently.
Pretty sure, some of us think right now that when we have lotas of money, we will spend most of our time enjoying it and gaining more at the same time. Most of us applies that ideology, yet it appears that some do not. When they got money, they rest like exhausted horses after a good run. Does money make people lazy? Do you think it's just a good thing to do that?
Money will make people lazy only if they were born rich already and loved to spend it all around but this only occur during their teenage days or the child is being spoiled by their parents, but if a parents pass their businesses to their child then you can't say he/she is lazy. Only if they didn't do anything just to recover their company from going down. Pretty sure, some of us think right now that when we have lotas of money, we will spend most of our time enjoying it and gaining more at the same time.
That's what i am thinking honestly, if only i have lot of money then i can go on for a vacation.Most of us applies that ideology, yet it appears that some do not. When they got money, they rest like exhausted horses after a good run. Does money make people lazy?
Partially, money can make people lazy.Do you think it's just a good thing to do that?
There is nothing wrong with that. It is your life, it is your money, you can live life whatever you want.

Not at all, being rich is the fruit of a person's hard work. Working hard just to get what they want or even become rich does not define laziness.
Some sort of, people worked very hard for money so if they have money it takes away the reason why they have to work anymore. They could use their money to let other people work in their behalf.
Does money make people lazy?
Yes it does, when the person inherits the money or wins the lottery or even steals money from other people. Why am I saying this? Why did not someone make a sacrifice to make money to the point of becoming rich? this person will spend his money on the best things in the world, this person will not work or do anything that requires any effort. probably this person will go to some cruise or will make unlimited vacations in some country. This is the nature of many people, there are few people who work for love.
Do you think it's just a good thing to do that?
if the person owns the money, the person does what he wants with his money. as long as the person knows that eventually the money will end and that he should be responsible for his own actions.

Laziness if more of an internal quality, rather than a quality that's there based on your wealth. It's a personality trait. Some people cannot sit still doing something, they always need to be involved in a project. Some people can have a lazy personality, but be forced to work because they are poor. So it's more of an individual thing.
I am sure that everything depends on a person and sources of capital. I noticed that a person who did not earn money by an own labour did not know the value of money and usually this type o a person lived with pleasure not doing anything what did not give a pleasure. However there is another type of rich peoples who earn money by own labour and this type of rich people do not spend their life only for pleasures. Anyway it is just my observations. I have not been a rich man so I cannot think like a rich person as well as I have not lived as a rich person so I do not know any particulars about their life so I just may suppose how they live.

It is wrong to judge that way, most rich people play their money for more earnings to be earned in the future because they realize that by letting them make life miserable and doing nothing, such thoughts are closely related to a person which is successful, do not waste time and money, while still being able to do business and work I think there is nothing wrong with doing, if you do not want to live miserable life in old age without any grip, most people earn money just spend it buy that is of no benefit.

Most of rich people are still working hard despite of their wealth. It's continous and sometimes only sleep is their time of rest. That's why you at some cases, most rich people are having a family problem due to lack of communications because all majority of their time spend on their work.
And even they spend money like hell, it's their money after all. What matters here is they understand what they are doing.
Does money make people lazy? Why should it became like that? How money will came over and over again if people will become lazy. And if we are getting decent money out on a certain work, it will boost more our productivity and effort to do that work, right?
That's a ridiculous kind of statement. I mean I'm sure there are a lot of lazy people who were born rich. But the reason why your statement is somewhat ridiculous is because being rich, and having a good job, education and so on are a lot more synonymous with being rich.
It's like you have a warped view of reality.

No being rich is not similar to being lazy. Many people are bot working in their houses because they claim that they are really rich. But what they do is they are focusing in becoming richer person. And there's nothing wrong with that.
