The so called Beautiful, Wealthy people according to studies, including the Wall Street Journal, are just miserable. How many times have you heard someone say, “ If I had his money I would ( fill in the blank). I think everyone wants a good living and some sort of comfort level but if I had to trade my life for the lives of people like Donald and Melania Trump or the super rich or even the just rich, I would not do it.
Look at Donald. Look at Bannon…
I am Trump Miserable !Snarling, never smiling and looks constipated ALL the time. The man has multiple mansions, a helicopter, a jet, and most anything money can buy including power but he is not only unhappy..HE IS TOTALLY MISERABLE. He also wants to make us all miserable. This area of unhappiness and misery is one area that they want to be socialist in their thinking.. EQUAL MISERY FOR ALL.
Can someone please apply my makeup?According to studies. .
According to an article in The Atlantic, “the respondents turn out to be a generally dissatisfied lot, whose money has contributed to deep anxieties involving love, work, and family. Indeed, they are frequently dissatisfied even with their sizable fortunes. Most of them still do not consider themselves financially secure; for that, they say, they would require on average one-quarter more wealth than they currently possess.”
The respondents–120 people with a net worth of $25 million or more–were asked to write responses to certain questions. Here are some of their responses.
ON ENVYING WEALTH. “If we can get people just a little bit more informed, so they know that getting the $20 million or $200 million won’t necessarily bring them all that they’d hoped for, then maybe they’d concentrate instead on things that would make the world a better place and could help to make them truly happy.”
“I feel extremely lucky, but it’s hard to get other, nonwealthy people to believe it’s not more significant than that. … The novelty of money has worn off.”
ON WHY THE POOR SHOULD BE HAPPY: “Nobody has the excuse of ‘lack of money’ for not being at peace and living in integrity,” writes one survey respondent of his family, with a touch of bitterness. “If they choose to live otherwise, that’s their business.”
ON LOVE: One mom writes that the men in her daughters’ lives could feel “powerless,” and that “their role as provider has been usurped.”
ON CHILDREN: Money “runs the danger of giving them a perverted view of the world.” Adds another: “Money could mess them up—give them a sense of entitlement, prevent them from developing a strong sense of empathy and compassion.”
“We try to get our kids to do chores,” one survey respondent complains, but it’s hard to get them to mow the lawn when “we have an almost full-time gardener.”
ON MEAN, RICH DADS: “I have grown up with a father who never wanted to give up control of his business but kept taunting me with the opportunity to step into his shoes.” His wife adds, “It has been difficult to feel financially independent when [my] spouse’s parents hold tight control over [our] children’s inheritance.”
WHY THE RICH AREN’T SMARTER: Other people “glorify wealth and think that it means that the wealthy are smarter, wiser, more ‘blessed’ or some other such crock.”
ON INHERITING: “Financial freedom can produce anxiety and hesitancy. In my own life, I have been intimidated about my abilities because I inherited money.”
ON LUCK: “I just happened to hit the jackpot by choosing to work for the right company at the right time. I have never thought that I in any way earned this amount of wealth. I’m just now feeling like I’m getting the hang of it.”
ON FRIENDS: “Wealth can be a barrier to connecting with other people,” writes the spouse of a tech wizard who cashed in to the tune of $80 million. “Not feeling you should share some of the stressors in your life (‘Yeah, wouldn’t I like to have your problems’), awkwardness re: who should pay at a restaurant.”
ON HATING THE HOLIDAYS: Robert A. Kenny, one of the study’s authors and partner at North Bridge Advisory Group, says the wealthy dread holidays “because they were always expected to give really good presents.”
Of course, the survey, like most wealth surveys, has an underlying message. The Gates Foundation and the Boston College Center on Wealth and Philanthropy–directed by Paul G. Schervish–set out in part to encourage the wealthy to be better and more effective philanthropists. Showing the burdens of wealth helps the case for getting the rich to give more.
I looked at Kelley Ann Conway on the tube and thought, “ Damn, can she not get someone to put her eye makeup on so she does not appear like some monkey with a powder puff applied it.”? I then look at Donald Trump...OMG.. Long 70’s orange hair with white circles like a raccoon face. Then I looked at Melania. The woman appears like she is a manican She doesn’t look real and always so stiff looking and uncomfortable. Ivanka looks like she is going to break at any moment. like she is walking down a runway and that smile does not appear real at all. The boys look so miserable and uncomfortable unless killing an animal and the little boy never smiles. Outward displays their inward misery, I believe. I know they all ran around at some point in their lives with droopy diapers, crapping their pants and peeing ….just like everyone else. At this point, they may have been happy.. ( Maybe). They all will be buried or burnt just like the rest of us and bottom line is the dash on their tombstones will sum up their lives because the birth date and death date get no exception from the rest of us. The dash… the in between is their lives and what they did with that dash...Mostly it appears the very rich just fill in the dash of their lives with misery.
Donald Trump said we all bleed red in his inaugural speech but he thinks I believe his is the best and brightest red and there lies the problem.. The super rich are forever trying to prove they are better, smarter and better than us. Not even close. Wear that Poor with Pride… YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL….REALLY !!! There is no doubt in my mind...HATE makes you miserable and very ugly !
A lot of money can not buy happiness, in fact it seems to shroud itself in misery and ugly. This man has spent years giving people grades on looks. His family approves of this. Obviously his admirers do as well. I give the First Family a -3 ...They are simply so rich that they cannot enjoy anything ..including the beauty that lives in all if examined. Maybe a lot of money steals your joy and content and reflects the ugliest in a person inside and outside. From here on out when I see a miserable, hateful, ugly soul, I will just say, “ They have been Trumped”. Maybe they have been Cheney ed .
