Define rich! My gardener thinks I'm rich, I think my mate, Gino Stefanutti is rich, he thinks Johan Rupert is rich, and so on we go.Also today define a millionaire...not the same of a millionaire of 50 years ago.Health, happiness top the list wealth a little lower down the list.Ok, so I've thrown the stone in the bush, let's see what comes out.

Maybe being financially rich is the ablity to live at and above the means you currently live without having to work for it.

IS IT NOT THAT YOUR COMPETITORS ARE CLEVERER, THE TAX MAN IS YOUR SILENT PARTNER AND INFLATION IS YOUR BEDFELLOW?

My dad always said you're only a millionare if you have a Million Pounds! Yes, whether you are "rich" then that is another question, but at least you are probably entitled to become phylosophical about it. (a man with one watch knows the time - a man with two watches is never quite sure!! )

well there is of that and then there is the pesky issue of simple getting paid on time... cash flow delays from big corperate to small vendors has got to be a huge drag on the economy as a whole and certainly effects my own finances.. if I was Finance Minister I would legislate that invoices below x must be settled within 7 days without deductions.. I would also legislate no bank charges..I would also legisalate againest personal income tax and and increase in VAt but perhaps thats why I am not the FM

I would also legisilate that a trader be defined by withdrawls from the market not activity on the market( the entire point of a market is its clear price discovery and its liquidity) and I if I could not do away with personal tax I would create a tax free, location based exepmtion for the supper rich.. best way to grow an economy is wealth and education and with the supper rich you get both in your market.. enough ranting after all who the F am I.

Robert Kiyosaki states you are rich if you do not have to work to pay your bills. It gets paid by passive income without you raising a finger. I actually identified the best job in this line. The guy that sells pension schemes to big corporates! One sale, commission for life and your commission grows yearly as memebers contributions to the pension fund increases. Now what more do you want?
