Get Rich Quick.

Get rich quick. That is what everybody wants. The irony is some people are willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get rich, but end up being poorer in most cases. However, if you think about it, it's not just 'some people', it's everyone. After all, we have all bought a Lottery ticket at least once, haven't we?

However, if people are willing to getting themselves into more and more debt, even fall victim to scams, then surely there must be a way to make millions? We have all see the 'investment opportunities' and the guides to millions for the small fee of £100, but do any of these actually do anything other than making us empty our pockets? Today I was emailed a link from a friend informing me of one of these opportunities where they claimed that you could earn nearly $300 a day for an hour’s work, but of course they need $100 for them to show you how. Now I have been bought up to be sceptical of certain things, but in spite of this I still spent over an hour reading this page from head to toe trying to figure out if it is a scam or, in fact, that one golden opportunity.

In all honesty, I have concluded that I don't have a damn clue. I've spent all afternoon wrestling with myself over whether or not it's worth risking $100. I know many who have seen this opportunity have thrown money at this scheme and I know many will in the future. For all I know they could be rolling in mountains of money as I type, but how do I know whether they are or not? 

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen is the issue with society today. So many of us are slovenly, greedy and pathological chancres, but how many of us have won when it comes to the matter of money? Some people do have the brains to make their millions, but it takes a lot of hard work, hence why so few of us achieve the American dream or the modern day evolution of that. However, most sit around twiddling their thumbs and blaming the bankers.  

In the end, it seems that only the rich stay rich, which economically makes sense. After all, we do have to remember a little thing called supply and demand. That's the way it has worked since the beginning, our currency may not be chickens anymore, but it is still the same principle, just it is now applied in a more global sense. Sadly, the fact is in a capitalist world there will always be winners and losers, and almost without a doubt, there are very few genuine get rich quick opportunities. I'm afraid in order to make our millions we will just have to avoid our lackadaisical ways and get out that good old elbow grease. 

Effort.
