The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. So says the holy book. Why the rich are getting richer, the poor and getting poorer and the gap between them is getting wider on the daily basis. The poor are wondering why is it that the rich are getting successful in all their endeavor and the poor are falling in their little effort, is it not the same world we all lives in? Are the rich born with two heads?
The starting point
While the poor wait for government to create jobs and basic amenities to meet their needs, the rich create their own jobs and infrastructures to meet theirs. The correlation is that the rich are creating new jobs and breaking new frontier while the poor are competing for the few jobs made available by the government.
The meeting point
The rich and the poor have one thing in common, "the need of money"
The rich needs money just as the poor do. While the former goes ahead to create streams of wealth for themselves, the later wait to be paid monthly salary. And when the salary eventually come, the little that remains after basic needs are met is quickly taken to the bank, the common place for the rich and the poor.
The role of the bank
The bank is the only place where the rich and the poor have common identity but varied interest. While the poor brings the little money they have to the bank for saving, the rich goes there to take the money by borrowing. The poor saves money because they don't have anything to do with it at that moment, the rich come to borrow the money of the poor from the bank because they have more ideas than the money they have.
The difference maker
While the poor are busy all days thinking about the money they have saved in the bank, the rich are busy expanding their interest in capital investment with the money they borrowed from the bank, the Poor's money. The rich are getting richer using the savings of the poor. And the poor are getting poorer because they don't know what to do with their money.
The reality
There are are lot of people who are millionaires only in the bank, but are renting the houses and shops built by the rich with the poor people money borrowed from the bank. There is no way anyone can be rich through saving, the only path to sustainable wealth is through investment and not saying. It will surprise you that the only money the rich allow in their bank aaccount is only a minimum balance to keep it alive. Every cash they have is seen on one investment or another.
The verdict
Life is a risk, and to be rich is also a risk. Take a risk in your life with your money, if you fail you will learn and if you succeed you will be a good example to others. There is no shame in failing, the only shame you must avoid is to have shame. You must know that all billionaires and millionaires you see today started somewhere, and has failed a number of times but they never quit.
Decide today to take that money from your bank and look for a profitable investment to put it in, so you can reap twice in due time
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Nice article, but please use legal images. Don't use images with logos written over them - lawyers are often emailing us with requests about people information. It's pretty easy to get legal images and stay out of legal problems.
