What If You Suddently become very Rich?

There are many ways to become rich. You can be rich by striking the lottery, work hard , save and invest into properties and stocks, rob a bank or inherit a very big sum from your long lost relatives .

We all want to be rich and opulent. It is everyone’s dream to be rich and live a care free life and enjoy what the world can offer us .Not many will realize their dreams, for some , it will just be a dream only.

For those who instantly become rich through striking the lottery or inheriting a sudden windfall from some deceased relatives , their life's maybe turned upside down.


There are some people who consult ‘bomohs’ (Malay medium- witchcraft)or go to the cemetery to get the lucky numbers from the dead in the middle of the night.

They will put bamboo stakes around the grave and pour chicken blood all around and the medium goes into a trance to connect with the dead to ask for numbers to buy in the lottery.

I have heard stories which can be frightening and whether it is true or not, I do not know. It was said that the spirit of the dead would give the numbers but in return they asked for a house to be built for them.

Not knowing the real meaning of the spirits request, they agreed to it. When they did strike the lucky number and became very rich , they suddenly met with an accident and passed away.

If you are a Christian , you would understand the ‘house ‘ in spirit terms is your life or body or soul and not some paper and bamboo house you buy and burn for the deceased in the Chinese custom.They sold their souls to the devil…

Being middle class or poor and suddenly catapulted to the rich is not easy to handle .The change can be too drastic and will present new problems.

The things that your like and enjoy are no more feasible for you because of your new found wealth.You will find that being rich has its own limitations .It still does not give you the right to do whatever you please.

In a certain land , the rich do enjoy certain privileges and could be above the law of the country. The rich and powerful are a law unto themselves.

Your views of others will change and your perspective of everything will not be the same again. You will be able to do things which were once out of your reach or dreams.

Money may buy many things for you but there are those intangible things which money cannot buy,love, relationships ,happiness ,joys and contentment's.

Being suddenly rich can have it’s tale of woe’s. All your old friends will be gone as the divide is too great and many of them will view you in a different light .

There will be many who will be out to con you with sad tales and your sympathy or to ask for donations for everything. You will be pestered and hounded to no ends..LOL!

You too will not have the same thoughts about them. Sadly , you may make new found friends but those friends will just be superficial ones only . The more richer you are ,the more lonely you will become as rich men are not plenty .
