Is it possible to be honest and at the same time, a wealthy man today in Russia?

Возможно ли быть честным и в то же время обеспеченным человеком сегодня в РФ?

Let’s first define the terms. An honest person is one who does not steal, does not take bribes, almost not lying, not using the connection for the solution of personal problems, not trying to unseat colleague to take his place, etc.

So who should be considered secured, the question is more complicated – it depends on the needs of the person and his family, place of residence, education, health and many other problems.So take the average – income that will allow you to have good housing, a good car, treatment, education of children, the opportunity to go on vacation at a nice resort should be $$1 – 2 thousand per family member.

There are different options, there are semis 2 people, where both work, and there are many children, and with sick parents who need a sitter, so the spread of wages for different families is very large, but even in the best case with 2 running, you need to earn 70 – 100 thousand rubles. in each month. In large cities, in heavy work, you can apply for such a job, and if the family lives in a small town or village, it is almost an impossible task.

Let’s not talk about the officials, oligarchs, magnates, we are talking about ordinary people. How to live on a small salary or pension, but to eat properly, to dress, to heal, to have the opportunity to go abroad, want.

Honest and wealthy person in Russia, is it possible to combine? Probably there are such people, but what part they constitute of the total number and in what direction is changing this number? It will be interesting to read your comments.
