No, but people born rich can afford to be lazy, while the poor can't.
Topic: Is being rich synonymous to laziness? - page 3. (Read 507 times)
i think it depends on the person itself and also on how you've gotten that money. some people have that characteristic of being lazy. it is in their nature and becoming rich out of nowhere would push them towards that too. but some others are not. if you give an active person money enough to make him rich he will still remain active.
as for the way you get that money, coming into a large amount of money would be a shock that some people may not handle. for example someone who has worked hard all of his life suddenly becomes a millionaire (inheritance or lottery,...) they wouldn't know what to do with their lives anymore since all they knew was work, work, work.

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?
It was depends on the people somebody think even if they have money they are going to spend it wisely not like on day millionaire after enjoying then return into nothing or it let say back to zero you must have your own company for that the profit would be cycle and not wasted.

I think you become rich cause you did countless efforts for you to become successful and I think laziness probably is the product or a choice where in what you have done is enough for you not to exceed so much effort, but sometimes this is also good for us to rest but to make it a habit will cause you to have your profits unsupported and ending up with starving.
The sad truth is most rich people make money off the labor of poor people. Working hard isn't enough to make yourself rich. Some of the hardest working people on this planet are dirt poor. you need to have a creative idea, invest, or start your own business if you want to become wealthy.
for some people it's never enough. Jeff Bezos could of called it quits a decade ago but he keeps striving to build Amazon into the world's largest company. With rich people you either have the workaholics like Bezos, or the people who are lazy and solely make money off dividends and interest.

It's human instinct to be lazy lol. Still the rich guys never stop working hard because they know value of time and work. But they do live a mentally relaxed life which is good because they don't have to think of earning to live but they earn to grow their empires that make them happy 
i bet to disagree with your opinion. No rich people became rich without huge dedication and hardwork. They are so drudge so they achieve their goal and if they hire workers to serve them,it doesn't mean of laziness,they just want to enjoy their life after the hardwork and ofcourse,they wanted to help people who is in need of work.

It actually depends, some people who earned their money sometimes enjoy the fruit of their labor, and it doesn't mean that they are slacking or being lazy. It's a way to reward themselves. Some rich people might be lazy, those kind of people lose their fortune because of it. We cannot generalize things since each of us are aware of how it is being poor.
In my experience, rich people will never have enough money. They tend to work harder and longer to sustain that high
standard of living that they are used to. Some of these people inherited the money, so they are not used to hard work. The
money does all the work. In my country you get higher interest rates on your money, based on the amount that you are
saving. The bigger the amount, the higher the interest rate.
Some people here only live off the interest that they get
from their savings in Banks.

There are many ways how people become rich. Those who inherit it or a successor, instant money( win a lottery jackpot) and those who work hard to be rich. It doesnt mean you will be lazy since you have a lot of money. Those luxurious lifestyle is a reaward for their hard work. As I observed, lazy people are those who became rich in an instant and they think it is okay becacause they do not put extra effort to achieve that.
I don't think so. Most rich people are still workaholics and tend to just dedicate their time in their craft instead of doing nothing. Working more simply means amassing more wealth, and rich people don't exhibit signs of contentedness that's why most of them are still working even in an old age. Perhaps the newer generation who inherited their fortune can be lazy, but most rich people are still dedicated and hardworking, that's for sure. Old CEOs and company chairmans are fine example of rich people attending work just to acquire more wealth.
In basics, yes. Usually most rich people became rich in the first place by working really hard and using their opportunities.
There are others who got there by luck. Some inherited their parents wealth and whatnot.
I wouldn't necessarily associated the rich with hardworking but that is usually the case, however, it also goes the other way.

it depends of what do you want to do if you will be rich, it is your own choice and decision
actually because you done already your part you give all your effort to make money to become
rich in our society and have many possible job that will be done.

Rich people have come to that stage because of their hard work.Becoming rich/wealth is just a bye product of working hard .They have become rich over many years and not overnight or by chance.Rich people never seize to retire,they have little time to relax or enjoy their weath.Warran Buffet or a Bill Gates can retire and live happily ,but they are still active and doing some sort of work
On other hand ,if some one receives windfall riches (like a lottery ,inheritance etc),they have to struggle hard to keep their sudden wealth
