I recently posted a question on my facebook account - asking if people wanted to become millionniares.
Here are some of the replies - you make upi your own mind whether money matters more than personal satisfaction:
· Yes, for mostly shallow and selfish reasons, but money follows as a consequence of building a successful business, not when wealth is the principal objective.
· It is an aim,though not a sole driver for me.Apart from enjoying the material side of life,I believe money should make it to the right hands to allow it to be used 'well'.Capitalism with a conscience, I think, can address a lot of the world's problems.
· Yes it does, however that doesn't mean that money is the center of my being, nor is it my main motivation in life. For me, freedom is being able to do what you want to do, when you want to - not being tied down fiscally.
· Yes in the sense that the financial security would be good, and by definition I'd have done something with my life, potentially having created an economic constribution to others and created something for the world. Ethically it may not stand so well...
· Sure does. I'd never say no to being a millionaire. Perhaps I wouldn't want to be a high profile muilti-millionaire. For me the advantages of being a millionaire outweigh those of not being one........
· Winston Churchill once said: "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it!" Being a millionare would mean that I have achieved at least one of my goals, and now have the means to achieve many others. This would be a good thing.
· Money is freedom so long as you have the will to make the choice to alter doing what you have to do to acquire enough money to allow you the freedom of choice to do other things.
· Yes, it does appeal to me very much. I feel having a level of financial security will allow me to do multiple things rather than just be on the treadmill to keep myself afloat.
· Sure does. I'd never say no to being a millionaire. Perhaps I wouldn't want to be a high profile muilti-millionaire. For me the advantages of being a millionaire outweigh those of not being one........
