Money changes people

A very good question and thank you for bringing the subject up. The only way my husband and I will ever acquire lots of cash is if we won the lottery. Materialistically, a new house with a garden would be a must...but not something too big as there are only two of us. Well, 3 if you include the cat. :-) I cannot give money away at the moment to charity as I have none. Having more cash would enable me to give money to charity again as I know many are struggling with this Credit Crunch. However, I would not give to loads of charities as there are a few I believe in and a few I do not. Giving money to the family could get out of hand but I would ensure that my parents and hubby's parents got some money but not loads because they do not owe on their mortgages, therefore the houses are their own. A definite must would be a massive holiday with friends and family to somewhere like Las Vegas, where we got married...and you never know, we could win some more on the slots! :-0

Yes it does. A change for a better or a worst. Some will even change their attitude towards others in a least accepted manner or their lives perspectives. An ugly will become pretty, the powerless will turn into powerful, and the earth must be created into a heaven for them. However, many will remain as they are also, the outside appearance may change but the inner beauty remains. I salute those people who will rule their money accordingly and not the other way around.

It is not the money that changes people, its the lack of money that changes people. Those that change as soon as they get the money, don't actually change, but show their true self. I will agree that money changes lots of things around you, like I had people wich I barely spoke to, suddenly act as I'm their best friend and ask for loans. And that as soon as they got wind that I had money to spare. I found that part even more upsetting then watching some of those who got the money change.

I heard a great quote about this somewhere, but I don't remember it word by word. The overall idea is that money doesn't change people, it just intensifies what is already there. If they are a happy person without the money, they will still be happy. If they are a selfish person, that trait would remain as well. Money provides more opportunities, and while negative experiences may change their perspectives, the individual will remain the same. It may divide family and destroy relationships, but more often that not, it's the person without the money that causes that... wanting what isn't theirs but they think they have a right to.

yes its true that most people change their attitude when they become very rich.. they think that they will be very happy if they could buy everything in this world.. they became proud of themselves because everybody knows him or just like becoming a celebrity.

I believe it does. In short, i know it would sure change me and my habits. I probably wouldnt look down on others but i would definetly change my lifestlye and my environment. When someone says to you that it would all stay the sae for them, i guess they are lying. Im not saying that money makes people go bad, just to be clear, i just wanna say that it has an affect on a persons behavior. Cheers
