What is your definition for "rich" and "wealthy"? Permanently having more money and income than you know what to do with. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

The way to become rich is to start a business, you can also become relatively rich by working in the financial sector as an employee. True in the U.S., but not in Europe. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

In the highly unlikely event that they manage to overcome all the social obstacles to actually making lots of money through earning alone (as opposed to being born into it), the tax people will take it all. In most of Europe, it is tacitly understood that if you aren't born into money, you have no right to accumulate it, even by working for it. you meant to finish "in the 19th Century", did your machine go down? -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

The way to become rich is to start a business, you can also become relatively rich by working in the financial sector as an employee. True in the U.S., but not in Europe. I'm just now looking a cookbook by a man named Gulab Noon, he has made himself rich by making supermarket curry ready meals in UK. They have given him an MBE BTW. In the last boom top employees in the City of London received £1m annual bonuses. Which Europe do you live in? -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

They even impose the restriction on themselves; they feel themselves "traitors" of a sort if they become too successful without having the necessary family ties and old-school buddies, and they work to sabotage the success of anyone else who steps out of line in this way. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Which Europe do you live in? The one that still worships royals, and keeps them rich with taxpayer monies. Some europeans worship royals, some americans worship filmstars and even let them run the state/country sometimes. Its only UK that has a really high profile (powerless) royal family and they probably show a profit on tourism, although I would be happy to do without them. (although I can enjoy a ceremonial from time to time). -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
