Depends on what "Rich" really means to you.
My Grandfather was a simple farmer, he worked hard, earned some money, finally was able to have his own farm.
My Dad was a farmer's son, studied extra hard, made it to medical school, finally was able to become a surgeon.
I'm a 2nd generation doctor, I have everything that money could buy, I still don't think that's the kinda "rich" I wanted for myself.
bottom line is, each one of us has his own idea of "rich", my grandfather a farm, my dad's a respected job, and I still trying to find out, what we all have in common is we all agree that the only way to reach that "rich" status we seek, is to work hard for it.
