Misconceptions About Being Rich

There are other misconceptions that the poor and middle class often have about the rich.

Such misconceptions as, money is the root of all evil. That was my poor dad's point of view.

My rich dad thought it was a lack of money that was often the root of much evil.

For instance, he said many people turn to crime very simply because that's the only way they can make enough money to survive.

Also, you look at drugs. Many people are selling drugs just because it's an easy way of making money.

And then another evil, as I already covered, is sometimes people marry somebody for their money rather than marry somebody they love.

And you look at what happens to kids. You know, if you have two parents working today and the kids are at the shopping mall or watching television, to me that's very evil if parents are working so hard for money that they lose time with their kids.

So that to me is one big misconception that sometimes the poor and middle class have against what the rich are.

The next thing is that many times poor people and middle-class people say, "Well, I'm not interested in being rich because you work too hard."
