Im not sure about this one as i dont think it would or at least i would hope not:) its just i had a friend who was just like me when it came to money but then he inhereted a ton of cash maby not as much as the lottery but vast in my opinion and now he wouldnt even look my way as he mingles with the rich folk. What would you be like?

Well for me it would definitely not change my personality!!! Although I can imagine that it would for lots of people - it just to me all depends on how you see things yourself. I grew up with money and have to say that I never really enjoyed it - it seemed to bring out the nasty ness in people around us!!! So I always told myself as a child that I did not want to be a rich adult!!! It's just not me!!! Guess that's why I get frustrated by alot of relatives who are all like how can you stand to live in such a small house - well hubby & I are happy, the boys are happy & healthy and life is good - why would I want anything more!!!!!

Thanx so much for the compliment!!!! Boo Coo's to u too!!! Ha Ha!!!! Yes I know I have seen way too many people get all racked up in their attitude when it comes to money!!!! I just tell them that they need to get over themselves!!!! Money can really spoil even the best of people - but not me - I just don't work that way!!!! I think that having to live life without being rich - is so much more interesting & fun!!!

hey thats great someone who actually agrees with me i think money does change peoples views and personalities as i myself have experienced this first hand. I really love the way you are true to yourself and i admire that there arent many people in this world who would say hey i may have money but im happy with what i have already :) thanks for sharing that hope you have a nice day :)

I would still be the same person, i would just be afraid of making new friends, or not speaking to my friends or family that i haven't spoken to in years. the people that i talk to now i know won't try to use me for money or take advantage of my generosity. but i definetly know my step-mother will!!!!

I'm not sure if it would change my personality or not, Can I try??? I'd like to find out...............
In all seriousness, I don't think it would change my personality at all. I think the stinky rich people were born to money. They are trained from a young age to stand with their hands out and have people wait on them hand and foot. What a waste.........

Of course some things would change, I would be a godo rich person though. I would treat my family and friends, I would just be a bit more cocky :D

Maybe it wont change my personality but my standard of living. I will be the same person but with lots of things and properties that I think the only changes I can say as of now.

nope, and I certainly wouldn't change my friends :)
In fact I would probably buy them presents, if they would accept them :)

I don't think so, and I certainly hope not. I'd probably try to act normal, and wish that no one that I know has knowledge to the information. I've never won any money before, so I'm not familiar with the process.
