I want to be a Billionaire!
It's every persons dream to reach such a financial status of becoming a billionaire. With such a status one could help the world in the following ways:
- Help in eliminating the homeless problem.
- Help in curing the medical dilemmas people are suffering with.
- Help to protect our valuable resources of land, sea and country.
- Donate to charities for a good cause.
- Help to put a smile on the face of a child with terminal cancer.
- Help to educate the person that is unable to afford the proper schooling to go forward in life.
- The list could go on and on.
With the US hosting the largest population of billionaires in the country (269 followed by Japan with 29) according to the "Composed Gentleman" list. I think I could fit in very well.
Now back to reality. I don't think I would want the notoriety that goes with such status. Thankfully there are billionaires all over the World who are giving their time and resources to better the world they live in. My hats off to them.
To put it into perspective in my own life, my billions come in the form of friendships and people that have touched my life throughout the year. Living the American Dream of pay check to pay check holds me back from donating these large sums, but my payback is treating others as I wish to be treated myself.
With Thanksgiving, I wish to thank each and everyone of the Active Rain subscribers who have touched my life through education and friendliness. Through your post, unknowingly you have touched others lives. My hats off to the billionaires of life!
May your 2008 be a better world to live in.
Thank you!
Duane

Duane, I dont think that there is a soul on here that could honestly say they have never dreamed about this. For some, it is more often.
