Do You Need Someone to Tell You Why You Want to Be Rich?
Part 3
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6

I think it safe to say none of us longs to be poor, just scraping by, barely making it, heavily in debt, destitute, or bankrupt. Though I sat at a Board meeting for the homeless once where a highly insensitive car dealer told us all how nice it would be to sleep under a bridge, that it would be peaceful and that he "kind of envied 'them'." No t.v., no cell phones, he said. Armchair liberal. No air-conditioning, no food, no medicine, no education ...

But I knew what his life was like -- 70 hours a week was probably the least he ever put in at the office, so he had no time to spend his money and he hated his wife. Now that, I would agree, is "evil" -- to have money and no time to enjoy what it can buy or anyone special to enjoy it with.

However, having gotten out of the armchair and into the trenches myself, there's nothing even neutral I can say about grinding poverty.

It isn't enlightening, it doesn't make you a better person, and it doesn't build character. It's more likely to make you angry, broken, crazy, sick, or even dead, and if you survive what it does to you, you won't survive what it does to your children.

Spirituality and poverty do not go together any more than spirituality and wealth go together. Who got the two connected in the first place?

"They're so happy," the cruise passengers always tell me, when we're in the Caribbean. I speak on cruises. "People in the US are miserable, and look at how happy the people in Barbados are." I didn't think the prostitute walking down Main Street with her baby and toddlers in tow looked particularly happy. Call me unobservant?

Does wealth make you ungiving? It didn't Anson Greene Phelps, founder of Phelps Dodge Mining Co. He vowed if his business and family survived a financial crisis in 1832, he would pledge his life to philanthropy and when he died, he left to charities in New York the largest donation ever made at the time.

Nor did it stop Bill Cosby from donating $20,000,000 to Spellman College.

Nor John Sperling, multi-millionaire owner of the University of Phoenix, from giving $600,000 to Reed College.

And what can you say about Oseola McCarty, who was a washerwoman her entire life and donated her life savings to the University of Mississippi -- $150,000?

It does happen to be true that people give to charities in reverse proportion to their income. "Shame on you, rich people" is all I have to say about that. If you haven't donated a playground to a Children's Shelter and watched the kids hit the AstroturfT running, you have not experienced the pleasure of money.
