Ever hear of Warren Buffet? He's got a net worth of $62 billion.
"His children will not inherit a significant proportion of his wealth. These actions are consistent with statements he has made in the past indicating his opposition to the transfer of great fortunes from one generation to the next. Buffett once commented, "I want to give my kids just enough so that they would feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they would feel like doing nothing."
I guess it seems to many expats here that a lot of Qataris do the latter.
Why do you think that actually earning a living is like "being tortured your whole life"?
Personally, I find it rather empowering to know that I can support my family and myself. And I actually enjoy my job and am very fulfilled by it.
You seem to be expressing conflicting ideas here. On the one hand, you're defensive when someone says that women here don't work a lot or raise their own kids. Then you say that if people can, they should save their kids from the awful pain of having to actually work for a living.
So which is it?
"Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise."
