I'm guessing your Mum had a bad time with some-one who was rich .. pity, if she stuck to loving the rich, by now both of you would be rich ...
The answer is, of course, live your own life and NEVER EVER talk money with Mum ...
What is enough depends on your definition of rich..The best definition I ever heard is!!!!!
"Rich is having enough money to live your desired live style without needing to work"
My desired life style is spending nine months a year laying in a hammock on a Pacific Island then 3 months in the states visiting relatives, been doing this for 8 years and do it easily on $36,000 a year
I would consider rich to be a net worth of over 2 million dollars.
Sounds like your mother has some jealousy issues.
Your mom hates rich people because she isn't one.
Earn your money and if your mom is gonna be weird about it then that's her problem
Your mom should understand that you want to be successful. Show her how responsible you are but repeatedly cleaning up the house or doing nice things for her. If she actually wants to physically kill you then call help IMMEDIATELY!
It's one thing to listen to and respect your mother, but it's another to let her control your life and goals. Do what *you* want to do.
word of advice....
DO want to be that person with money that your mom wants dead. Don't act like that person with money that you mom wants dead.
Get it?
