I have always found that it is far more convenient to be rich rather than to be poor.

About This Quote

This is an interesting quote. It suggests that having wealth can make life easier. This is one of the most common statements said by people who are born into wealth. The idea of being poor is similar to the idea of being a slave.

No matter how hard you try to get ahead, there are always others who are willing to take advantage of you. They will take everything that you have worked hard for and use it for their own benefit. It’s not uncommon to find people who are jealous of other people’s success, especially when they have nothing else to show for their success besides money.

People who say this quote seem to think that being rich makes life easier because they have so many opportunities to have fun, enjoy life, and do what they want with their lives. On the other hand, this quote can be interpreted as saying that it’s easy to be poor because there aren’t many opportunities that come along for you to make things better. There are many people in poverty today who still think that there are no options available for them to improve their situations.
