So today in class I got....bombardment by all the girls in my class for saying my own personal view point and been told I am wrong. So I want to know what the community think of this. Is it hard to become a rich successful man who trying to get into upper class(by being ceo or own a very profitable business) and at the same time try to be loving husband or wife when you are working your butt off to make sure you get your family to upper class. I told them it impossible or at best at least hard to do so because you be spending such little time with your spouse and be focusing all on your job just to be a excellent provider, yet I been told I am wrong(without them explaining why just saying it yes it can happen). Well I personally think that you should have a family later and get what you want first(to be rich for example)

In general, successful businessmen will spend more time working than being at home.

as someone whos family was always heavily involved in International Politics (both my parents careers involved it in some form), its not as hard as you would think..

I always had the best of Tutors, best of "possessions", and best of many other things (not that it matters now, as now I live alone in a very crummy house)..
But the fact my parents were always busy and working did not mean they were not great and loving parents, it just meant the time I did get to spend with them was all that more special..

That make sense but you are missing the key point here, is it possible to work hard to the point were u are falling a sleep at your business just to earn a large amount of cash while having a wife or potential child or two.

You could try and become rich over your family, and you'll end up crying over Cats in the Cradle when your 60.

That is exactly what I thought as well since it seems difficult to be a lover while trying hard enough to be a millionaire or whatever price it takes to enter the upper class.

Impossible? No.

Hard to achieve? Without a shadow of a doubt, yes - and on so many levels. You might be loving in your heart but if you are (or are trying to be) a successful business man, you'll most certainly not just be doing the usual 9 to 5. You'll be working extra, maybe even at home. You won't be able to spend as much time as a person who is laid back when it comes to work or is just old money and is already rich and therefore has no need to work. Furthermore, if you're even moderately successful, you'll be meeting people and some of those people would be women. Given the temptation, it isn't unheard of for successful business men to have affairs. Apart from that, to achieve success, you need drive and ambition, and that means your focus is on work and family or home life comes second.

You could provide examples and anecdotes and what not about people who have done both, but even they'd tell you that it wasn't easy. I dare say, whoever disagreed with you is probably living with their head in the clouds. You're most certainly not wrong. They just have zero idea how the real world works.
