I want to be rich. Why is this an unpopular thing now? I hope everyone who says they despise wealth is being genuine so that it will be easier for me to get.

It is not a bad thing to want to be rich. It is a bad thing to signal that desire without socially appropriate cushioning.

I want to be rich. But I don't say that. I say that I want a few acres of mixed forest and field with water access in Northern Michigan for a cabin and a permaculture garden/food forest. But you can't buy that with good intentions and charm.

I just want enough money and a paid off house to use as collateral to get my wholesale marijuana grow up and running when Missouri legalizes. Is that better?

Close.

But most people don't think of 'Not in debt and owner of a modestly successful business' as 'Rich.'

When they think of 'Rich' they think of this

I just want enough money for a seaplane.

EDIT: To be more specific, like the one from Tailspin which looks like $595,000.
