Why does money change people??

Money does change people either positively or negatively, GENERALLY, we may classify people in two types when it comes to their reaction to sudden wealth: FIRST TYPE: positive change: This is when money changes the way you live, you'll be indulging ur self and enjoying a better living standards, better home better car, better eduction and better whatever. Sometimes and i say sometimes, your interests change i mean you add new interests to ur old ones. This is a desirable and an expected change. SOCOND TYPE: negative change: As a consequence, people as their income rises and as their living stardards go up, their surrounding change, they can't still go out with their old buddies coz they don't share common interests with or because they seek wealthier friends, this is a negative change. Money mustn't change the way you look at ur people, it is possible that with money you'd have new interests and new friends but you can't replace your old buddies, never but unfortunately some people fall into this pattern. As for me I can't speak for myself but I don't think I am type 2. Thank you Princess Dew The 1st for the interesing discussion ....

I think money changes people because they think, wrongly, that money is a symbol of power. My in-laws came into a lot of money over the past several years. They did work to earn that money, but I saw changes in them over time. They think they are better than others, even their own children sometimes! I think as a society we are told that people with money are more glamorous. Having "things" makes us special. I hope that if I ever come into a large amount of money I wouldn't change. If I would, I hope that I never come into a large amount of money. I like the way I look at money now. I would like to have just a little bit more of it, but learning to live with what we have makes life interesting.

The money involved in people much envy and so they change much. This is my opinion.

Morning Dew, some people dont change coz of money it is who they truely are and they were unmasked by material things. We dont really know that someone who we think we do until it is tested into something over circumstances in life. Some people from poor family keep their same moral being when they reach their goal in life. Others let money driven them to forces who they werent truly are and they realize that when their back of where they came from. You may not understand the needs of others, poverty and economy yet but maybe in time you can answer that to yourself based on your experienced and to others.

Money is not the reason to change your own persona. You should know how to balance your life, it is a different entities for personal or business. If we do, life will be a fruitful one.
