    Maybe people don’t assume they are going to "get rich" but not everyone is an entrepreneur and 8% is a better return on their money than a savings account.

    What, you would rather they put it under their mattress???

    Better than being rude why aren’t you offering advice?

    YOU GET REAL.

    It’s not as much a question of getting rich as having your money be worth something in the future. If you just save it under your mattress or in a coffee can in your back yard, inflation will devalue it any way. If you invested a million dollars, you could live comfortably on the $80,000 a year in interest. If you don’t have that kind of money, investment wouldn’t be your main concern.

    If I could be guaranteed 8% on my money I would be happy, it would double my money every 9 years.

    If I added to it on a monthly basis, over time I would be rich…
    Oh, Sorry, I guess I am, I have been doing this for 40 years and I am a millionaire
