Is being rich synonymous to laziness?

Does money make people lazy?

Yes it does, when the person inherits the money or wins the lottery or even steals money from other people. Why am I saying this? Why did not someone make a sacrifice to make money to the point of becoming rich? this person will spend his money on the best things in the world, this person will not work or do anything that requires any effort. probably this person will go to some cruise or will make unlimited vacations in some country. This is the nature of many people, there are few people who work for love.

Do you think it's just a good thing to do that?

if the person owns the money, the person does what he wants with his money. as long as the person knows that eventually the money will end and that he should be responsible for his own actions.

Some sort of, people worked very hard for money so if they have money it takes away the reason why they have to work anymore. They could use their money to let other people work in their behalf.

Pretty sure, some of us think right now that when we have lotas of money, we will spend most of our time enjoying it and gaining more at the same time. Most of us applies that ideology, yet it appears that some do not. When they got money, they rest like exhausted horses after a good run. Does money make people lazy?

Not at all, being rich is the fruit of a person's hard work. Working hard just to get what they want or even become rich does not define laziness.

I agree.Sometimes a person needs to reward also himself after a long time of hardworks and when he had reached already his goal of becoming rich,i think he will just rest for a while and then continue his labor to make more richer.Laziness does not often comes to rich people because they are those people who never finds contentment to a certain thing and so they keep on doing things that will make them happy.

That's what i am thinking honestly, if only i have lot of money then i can go on for a vacation.

Partially, money can make people lazy.

There is nothing wrong with that. It is your life, it is your money, you can live life whatever you want.

Money will make people lazy only if they were born rich already and loved to spend it all around but this only occur during their teenage days or the child is being spoiled by their parents, but if a parents pass their businesses to their child then you can't say he/she is lazy. Only if they didn't do anything just to recover their company from going down.

Rich people who received money by inheritance are often very lazy. Those who have earned their millions on their own, on the contrary, are ready to work hard and diligently.

[Sundayspecial]

it noRMally depends on the person.

[Quickharmas]

Well it depends on how did you get those money. You got them by luck in a lottery or worked hard for them. Rich people that worked hard for their prosperity are not lazy.

[xirtaeboddik]

No, I don't think being rich makes one lazy. As a matter of fact, it pushes the rich to become more greedy and to acquire more. Ask the rich if they consider themselves to be rich enough to rest and to lavish on their hard-earned money. I bet, no one will say, "Yes! I'm already rich, so I gotta stop here and retire." Still, they continue to make money by working harder than they used to be. They spend their whole life making more and more money, 'coz this grants them a sense of security and satisfaction.

I can't answer you on that one. However, one of my old lecture always tell us that programmers are lazy. Indeed, as a developer, I believe the biggest reason why I choose to join this industry (and play this specific role) is because I am lazy. :p.

Lazy is a lack of motivation, if you really want to break it down. There are many "lazy" who work all the time, and part of that is because they don't have the motivation to push forward. Though I don't want to sound as I'm putting those people down, because they're not truly lazy like those who simply give up. But what I'm trying to say is that there are people who are rich because they couldn't take the 40 hour grind and did something about it, while others accepted it.

[Rockernewf]

If you got rich by accident then sure, you might get lazy because of that.

[raatnak]

Im pretty sure its the opposite unless you`re not some kind of a rich kid who got everything for free. Rich people just dont stop or retire.
