Always amazed by folks who think achievement is tied closely to greed ... if anything money will allow you to keep following through on your goals. Do you think Steve Jobs went home and rolled in piles of money or spent more time planning Apple's next product? And he was sitting on billions of dollars in cash in Apple. The money allowed him to continue innovating. If anything money is just another metric to gauge success in one area and certainly not the only metric.
Also, the majority of America's rich are first time millionaire's who gained their wealth through small business ... no silver spoons here folks. Those who aspire to keep up appearances through huge houses, BMWs and lifestyle "glitter" for the most part are truly broke, or balance sheet poor. The majority of millionaire's live in moderate neighborhoods and drive standard cars, valuing achievements over appearances. These findings have been published in Thomas Stanley's books, "The Millionaire Next Door" and "Stop Acting Rich."
Additionally, both Fox News and MSNBC get it precisely wrong folks ... the truth is much more moderate ... which is not as entertaining as the modern "Wrestling Entertainment" spectacle that modern media and politics have created. Turn it on, find out who the good guys and bad guys are, watch the wrestling match, repeat. This is just entertainment, not the truth of the matter for either side of the fence.
