If I Be a Millionaire
1
IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE If I were a millionaire, then my life would take a dramatic turn from what it is now. Iwould adopt the lifestyle of the rich and famous.The first thing that I would do, if I were a millionaire, is to help my parents. My parentsare poor and live in a small house. It would be a dream come true if I could buy them a bigger,better and more spacious house. They would also be able to live a life of luxury, as I would beable to hire servants to help my mother with her domestic chores. My father would finally gethis well-earned break. He has been selling vegetables in the market all his life and has workedhard. If I become a millionaire, I would ask him to stop working, as he is old and needs to rest. Iwould not want him to die in harness.Money is definitely a boon and can be a friend. My life would change too. I would finallybe able to afford to buy better clothes and would even be able to afford some designer labelslike Gucci or Channel. Furthermore, I would no longer be seen riding my motorcycle, as Iwould be driving a fancy car. To maintain this image would mean that I would not be able tosocialize with some of my friends at the teh tarik stall. I would now have to dine at the bestclubs in town and rub shoulders with only very special people.With more money, I would definitely be able to go on holidays and see the rest of theworld. I would finally be able to fulfil a long cherished dream of helping the poor. I would beable to donate to charitable organisations, not only in Malaysia but also in other countries.Being a millionaire definitely means having more fun. It also means having a better lifeand seeing many of my dreams come true. Wealth and riches may not be a bad thing, as itwould definitely make me a better

    I am here today to discuss the two Poems, ‘If I was the son of an Englishmen’ and ‘the man from Snowy River’ and their different representations and stereotypical aspects in both poems about Australia and Australians are fair and accurate or if they are exaggerated and inaccurate. The author Komninos Zervos wrote the poem ‘If I was the son of an Englishman’ in 1985, and later wrote the poem ‘Nobody calls me a Wog anymore’ in 1990. And the author Banjo Patterson the writer of ‘The man from Snowy River’ in 1890 with his other notable poems ‘Waltzing Matilda’ (1895) and ‘Clancy of the Overflow’ (1889). ‘If I was the son of an Englishmen’ expresses a stereotypical representation of Australia and Australians as racists and drunks who destroys the kangaroo, and ‘the man from Snowy River’ expresses a more romanticised feel for the true blue, bush life of Australia. The two poems show exaggerations wither as a warm fuzzy feeling about the bush or a feeling of disgust through racist jokes described in the poem ‘If I was the son of an Englishmen’.…

    We all want to be millionaires, but do we know how to stay that way? Most people don’t know how to handle all that money. These millionaires just keep spending then saving. They just make quite the choices, right? Wrong! For example, NFL players, according to “Broke,” have lost every penny by just spending on random things like buying 2 cars at once. If you have that much money, you need to talk to a financial advisor that you trust. Trust plays the main role in this industry.…

    Millionaire Next Door

    In today’s world, just because you make a lot of money, does not mean you are necessarily rich. According to the book, “rich people” do not know how to actually maintain their wealth because they are always buying the best of the best instead of what they can still survive off of. For example, someone who earns a large sum of money may go out and purchase a Lamborghini as their personal car when a Honda Civic can serve the same exact purpose, and that is the fine line between rich people and millionaires. Rich people spend their money as fast as they make it therefore not much is retained. Stanley refers this system as “good offense” and “good defense”. According to Stanley, in order to accumulate any sort of wealth, one must earn a lot of money (good offense) and also develop good prudent habits (good defense). In other words, the more money you save, the closer you are into becoming a millionaire. Stanley gave basic steps throughout the book on how to become a successful millionaire that just requires simple skills. Throughout the book, Stanley had major points on how millionaires became millionaires and also maintained their wealth. Stanley mentioned many similarities millionaires have…

But, what seems to end up as a fairytale, many time becomes a horrible nightmare. Rather than improving their lives, a lottery win can lead newly rich people to feelings of guilt, paranoia, and boredom.…

    My parents still remind me urgently that I don’t want their lifestyle, but I ask why not? We aren’t living in poverty. Yes, we have to work hard to pay bills, but we’re comfortable. Millionaires may live lavishly but they most tolerate conventional corporate jobs, with long hours; leading them to sacrifice relations with their families. If that’s the “dream”, it’s absurd. Instead of striving for more money, we should…

    Of course, if I had a million dollars, I would spend a lot of it on myself, hopefully not too selfishly, but first of all, half of what was left would be safely stored at a bank in Swiss for future use. After the money was stored, what I spent with the rest of it would be history. Perhaps I'd get a few houses in the tropical islands, a couple of new computers, laptops, and walk-in closets in each, advanced payment for the CDs I wished to own. I'd also to invest in a six-year trip around the world with a year for each continent and three more months in Antarctica, and loads of material things would satisfy me, but who knows what I'll have come up with by then. After I'd gotten what I wanted for the time being, I would give some of the remaining money to my family and relatives for them to split among themselves, and perhaps some of it on educational benefits for me. If I were older, though, I would certainly need to spend it on my family, on cars and…
