RE: Why Do People Play the Lottery?
Yep, have that $29 a week grocery thing beat too.
But, time after time after time, it is shown that giving a man on the street a lot of money, will result in them being still out on the street.
Here is the thing broken down.
A middle class broke person will usually pick themselves back up, and can totally use some money to give them a leg up.
A poor broke person will blow any money given to them, and be just as broke. Or they will be worse off. If you have a heroin addiction, being broke keeps you alive.
Give trump a small loan of a million dollars, and he will make a fortune.
Give the average middle class person a loan of a million dollars, and it will just leak through their finger tips.
Basically, you have to find an entrepreneur who has already worked out cash flow, who is at the point where he only needs an infusion of cash. And then, that person can become rich.
To become rich, you do not need any money.
And, money does not make one rich.
