Well studies have shown that if a person today were to save a few hundred dollars out of each check from the age of 30 until they retire, they should be a millionair by that time. Invest wisely people, the future is looking quite bright.

Luminous quoted it nicely, but I still prefer the original. "Everyone wants money, sex, and power"; in some form, people want this at some point and time. Becomming instantly rich may have plenty of downsides such as the above, but becomming rich through hard work shows character and accomplishment.

I have a job, and yet I still want to be rich. It really didn't change much getting that $5.50 hour job working at walmart for the first few years. That can probably hold a teenager over until idk, maybe college, and then those standards tend rise when real initiative comes into play.
