How Rich Can You Get?

Most people dream of making more money than they currently do or better yet dream of being rich. This lens will tell you the top ways to become rich. No secrets here, no money making schemes, and just to be clear, I myself am not rich but I thought if I tell you how to get rich then maybe the karma in the world will return the favor.

Wishful thinking you might say but it's no crazier than buying a lottery ticket. My odds may even be higher.

BTW, if you find another way to become rich and don't mind sharring it with me feel free.

    Absolutely, as I believe that money is a pleasant side effect of doing what one loves. I've never been lacking the financial resources to pursue my dreams; love itself creates by extension and supports its own. I believe you when you say the universe will pay you back. What you hold in mind tends to manifest :)

    @siempoor, I agree with you about your definition of rich. Not always easy to stay positive and act rich and be thankful for what you have but it is very important.

    Well, can we seriously talk? At this point in my life, finding my single way after divorce, I honestly think if I am to become rich in this lifetime, some rich guy is gonna have to marry me and I'm not into another marriage. So, I will just have to get lucky to win the lottery or dig up some gold in my backyard ... which could happen.

#2 - Inherit Wealth

If you were not born rich or wealthy you may still be able to become rich due to receiving an inheritance from an unknown family member or friend.

Again, not highly likely to happen to many of us but it does and has happened in the history of people becoming wealthy so I mentioned it.

#3 - Invent Something

You have at one point or another in your life looked at something so seemingly simple yet practicle and useful and thought to yourself, I wish I had invented that.

The toothpick, zipper, medicine cabinet, silly bandz, etc. are all examples of items that have made their inventors or the companies that bought the rights to the inventions very rich.

So if you are a creative person and are persistant then maybe you will think of an invention that one day people will say they could not imagine living without it and make yourself RICH.

Best of luck.
