Wealth a state of mind.

 MY DAUGHTER IS NOT GOING TO MARRY A POOR.🥴

Bill Gates explains why his daughter can't marry a poor man.

A few years ago, I attended a conference in the United States on investing and finance. One of the speakers was Bill Gates and in the question and answer phase I asked a question that had everyone laughing.

If he, one of the richest men in the world, could allow his daughter to marry a poor or modest man?

Bill replied:

First, understand that wealth does not mean having a bank account with lots of money.

Wealth is first and foremost the ability to create wealth.

Example: Someone who wins money in lottery or gambling. Even winning 100 million, he is not a rich man, he is a poor man with lots of money. This is why 90% of lottery millionaires are poor again after 5 years.

You also have rich people who have no money. Example: most entrepreneurs. They are already on the road to wealth, even if they have no money, because they are developing their financial intelligence and that is wealth.

How are the rich and the poor different?

If you see a young man who decides to graduate, to learn new things, continually trying to improve himself, know that he is a rich man.

If you see a young person who thinks the problem is the state, and believes that the rich are all thieves and is constantly criticizing, know that he is poor.

The rich people are convinced that they only need information and training to start, the poor think that others should give them money to start.

As a conclusion, when I say that my daughter will not marry a poor man, I am not talking about money. I'm talking about this man's ability to create wealth.

Sorry for what I'm about to say, but most criminals are poor. When they are in front of money, they lose their minds, that's why they steal, rob, etc.

For them, it is a grace, because they do not know how they could earn money themselves.

One day, a bank guard found a bag full of money, took it, and gave it back to the bank manager.

People called this man an idiot, but in reality this man was just a rich man who had no money.

1 year later, the bank offered him a job as a receptionist, 3 years later he was in charge of customers and 10 years later, he managed the regional management of this bank. Now he manages hundreds of employees and his annual bonuses exceed the value he could have stolen.

Wealth is first and foremost a state of mind, my friend.
