Everybody wants to be rich. It’s the American dream to be rich; even though not everyone is able to achieve it.

To be honest, I would like to be rich myself. When I was in high school, my dream was to be a rich singer/actor living in California. That was before California became home of the fruits and nuts, the crazy Leftist Liberals. I still love to be rich enough to retire. I would love to see my blog goes viral; so that I can live off my blog, and make money off it.

If those who thinks that a person can get rich off Socialism, I got news for you; that’s not going to happen. The only one that get rich off Socialism is the Government. Not only do they get rich financially, they get rich with power; and they just abuse it to take advantage anyone they can.

Under Socialism, these casino wouldn’t exist, because the government would put their foot down to control them.

How many actually goes to these casino or buy Powerball tickets when the jackpot is up real high? You don’t have to be poor to do it either. Even those who are somewhat rich are doing it. Our appetites urges us for more; more sweets, more money, more fun, more friends, etc.

How much money do a person actually need to live comfortably?

The more we have, the more we want! We are not easily satisfied. It’s nothing to do with cost of living; that’s a whole different blog.

Let us take a look at the statistic of those who gambles. There is approximately 85% of Americans who have gambled at least once in their lives; 60% percent have gambled in the previous year. In 2010, approximately 25% of Americans over the age of 21 had gambled in casinos in the past 12 months.

Approximately 1% of the adult population in the United States has a severe gambling problem. The most recent estimates that 6-9% of young people and young adults experience problems related to gambling-a higher rate than among adults.

You may think, that’s not high; but actually it is

Those who had won huge amounts in the lottery, had ended up losing a lot of it because of foolishness. They spent it foolishly instead of investing it. When a person comes into money, a person should find ways to make the money works for them, by seeking a good long term investments.

Yet, we all strive to keep up with the Jones; and then wonder why don’t have enough. How much is enough?

The gambling industry is a big industry right now. Everyone is looking for a quick get rich scheme. When I heard that a person can get rich by writing blogs, I thought, I can do it. It’s not an easy fix! It’s takes lots of work. If you’re not up to the challenge why bother with it, you will just fizzle right out. Like anything, you got to work hard for it.

We’re become a nation of lazy people, who wants money handed to them. They want the Government to take care of them; that way they don’t have to do any hard work.

Any money you may get through gambling, the government will just take it away and pocket it for themselves.

I have bought Powerball tickets, went to casinos, and even played BINGOs and the lottery scratch off; hoping to get rich. I’m just glad that I don’t have the addiction to gambling like so many people do.

Gambling addiction can ruin many lives and family. The kids are affected the worse because of it. Believe me, I have the tendency to be addicted. Addictions runs in my family. It doesn’t matter what kinds of addiction.

I’m not saying to give up on your dreams of becoming rich. Just watch that you don’t get hook on the gambling addiction. You must be willing to work hard and make good sound investments when you do comes into extra money.

This is one reason why some are easy prey to scammers who will offer you ways to get rich quick scheme. Don’t fall for their schemes! You work hard for your money to blow it foolishly.
