<p>Do you care how much money you'll make, or do you just want to be happy?</p>

2

<p>rich = happy</p>

3

<p>eh, I want to marry someone I love and who loves me. But I also don’t want to live on the streets. So, money is always good. I just don’t need to be dripping in it.</p>

<p>also, I don’t want a job just for the money. I want to do what I love! (no idea what that is as of now though…)</p>

4

<p>No I’m looking to go the hobo route</p>

5

<p>basically I want enough money that I can live comfortably, relocate to Europe and retire very early (30s-40s).
And I’ve always wanted to buy a castle…</p>

6

<p>I want to love my job and be happy. Being rich is a plus!</p>

7

<p>Most important thing for me is to love my job. I don’t think I could ever love a job just for how much money I make, so it’s more about me just being happy, I guess.</p>

8

<p>I want to be rich, but not uber rich.</p>

9

<p>Well that would be nice, but of course I can be happy without the money.</p>

<p>But for those that say they want to be happy and not rich - well if you’re rich you can do whatever you want.</p>

<p>Rich =/= happy. Is there some correlation? Maybe, but it is very insignificant. I want to have a job I enjoy, marry someone I love, and most importantly make a difference. I’d rather make 50k a year as a homeless lawyer than making 10 mill a year as a banker.</p>

11

<p>There is actually a huge correlation: <a href=“http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/freakonomics/posts/Hap4-1.jpg[/url]”>http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/freakonomics/posts/Hap4-1.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>However, I personally don’t really have any aspirations for wealth. Never been into the whole buy a house, raise a family thing.</p>

12

<p>I’m going to Wharton, but I’m constantly in the process of reevaluating my priorities and money becomes less and less important.</p>

<p>oh well, can’t hurt haha. I’m gonna double up in something more fundamental so that my education isn’t just business oriented.</p>

13

<p>Well ofcourse money would be almost useless for your own good if you were not happy. Answering title question: Do you want to be rich when you grow up?
Answer: Why not? Being a rich is a bonus, plus, positive etc…</p>

14

<p>I want to be comfortable, but not necessarily “rich.”</p>

15

<p>I would prefer to be powerful instead of rich</p>

16

<p>I dont want to be rich. I want to be filthy ****ing rich.</p>

17

<p>i don’t want to have to worry too much about financial matters. so decently wealthy, without being too wealthy.</p>

18

<p>Normal rich, not Donald Trump rich even though that would be fantastic until I get very bored. If you thinking about it, the only thing about being rich that appeals to me is that you get a sense of accomplishment. You know you worked so hard and earned it.</p>

19

<p>Upper-middle class is my goal, I suppose. I just want enough to travel and not constantly worry about money.</p>

20

<p>i want to be able to buy vegan food, beyond that if i have access to a laundry facility i am happy =)</p>
