It's not smart to think being rich will make you happyWink

Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes being miserable easier!

If I were rich I'd hire Dvoretsky to be my butler so I'd have a live in chess coach. 

Rich doesn't necessarily mean smart but they have had opportunities to attend college because mommy and daddy could afford it.  To be rich one has to be either lucky or put in ungodly amounts of time into a business, research market trends, etc.  And that's if you have start up capital, and potential clients won't take you seriously unless you went to college so that's another big expense.

ok. We put this question in other side. "If u so smart why u so poor"???

MrDamonSmith

You don't have to go to college to become rich. A person certainly does need a good education in whatever field they choose to pursue to earn money (& further education in wealth building, finacial mangmnt, etc) but that education doesn't have to be obtained from a classroom of certain peoples choosing. 

Read the Millionaire Mind. It's a book of in depth interviews of self made millionaires & what it took to get there. Education is important but it all comes down to what education really is. A person can be very well educated & not have a degree, their degree is wealth. They may study a lot, but not in school. They get real world education.

It's hard to argue with that. Good point.

Nicki Minaj or whatever her name is, she's rich. Are you saying she's a genius?

I would explain it to you but I don't think you have enough money to understand.

Your premise contains both a false choice and a non-correlative. The argument itself is unsound.

Why?

Yeah. If you are poor and  unhappy at least you can say "Maybe someday I will strike it rich and be happy." What do you say to console yourself if you are rich and unhappy?

Without money you are unhappy + (!) problems because you can' t pay your bills.

How about we first define what "being rich" means before we discuss it and it's correlation to being smart?
