Money has turned her into a greedy person

good day micha5088, for me, the love for money is not really the root of all evil. hence, it is just how the people handles the money and the situation where the money involves. if people will just learn how to handle money appropriately, then, it will not be tagged that way. as what you have mentioned, your friend became greedy, so it is the attitude that is at stake here. it is how she have handled the situation.

I do think that money can do bad things to a person, and I am unfortunate enough to be able to say that I am the one who has become slightly obsessed with money of late. One of the reasons for this is because I work writing articles and I earn money based upon the number of views that my articles get. Because of this, there is technically no limit to my earning and this means that it is all too easy to let my work take over, and spend an hour extra here and there trying to get views. I am getting a little better now, and usually manage to switch my laptop off after dinner, but unfortunately there is still a part of me that gets completely taken over by the prospect of making more money.

I disagree just because she want to earn more money in her successful sales profession in property industry should make her a greedy person, if she is working extremely hard and put in extra effort trying to make more than what she already have doesn't her a greedy woman, she may have her reason for wanting to earn more in addition to her four to five figure monthly income. I refuse to judge her base on her willingness to work harder to make more as driven by greed, it make be a symbol of success or prestige status for her trying to make more compare to other sales professional in her industry that turn her into such a money hungry sales woman. In property business, a sale person ability usually is measured by the amount of sales value she can generate from customers, and also her earning capacity is closely related to the total value of property she can sell, there is no limit on the income she can earn a month. Of course, she is in the sales profession, she is not into a Miss Universe competition, i can't blame her for not being 'perfect' in your sight and in your mind, that is the least concerns for her right now as far as she is the top sales associate among her peers, she is feeling good. You need to chill and see it from the bright side on her instead of expecting perfection from her.

Its one of the many definition of money as the root of all evil. But sometimes, money can really be your friend if you know how to handle it. Simply because it can also be use to help other people. And I knew many people who had done that already. Most of us maybe do not know this simply because these people doesn't want to publicly announce that they are helping other people. All we heard are the negative aspect of having money but the positive side of it will never be known to many. And for the love of money, greediness will surely followed. But for the righteous people, money is simply a material thing in which one cannot bring to the grave nor to heaven.

hi micha, I experienced the same too........I know some people who become rich and changed their attitude because of money and it is so sad. happy mylotting

I'll vote with you on this. However, I would like to know what you meant by 'Nasty Side' of her business. You can't just brand someone greedy with out a genuine reason!

people don't turn greedy. They are greedy. they are greedy becuase they fear that there isn't enough for everyone so they have to hoard it, in this case money for themselves. Money is not evil, but people do to get it and keep it is evil. Money is a thing, how you feel about money will determine if you will have any or not. If you think money is evil, you will do everything to not be able to have and keep it. because why would you want to keep something that is evil to you. Don't think of money as evil. it is as important as your arm or air or love. you need it to be able to take care of yourself and your family. Respect it and do what takes that makes you feel happy and comfortable to make it

Almost every sales person are like that. I have met many of them, and working for them too, the way they approach you at the beginning is very good in manner but later on you will find them doing nasty things for money. I don't like that either.

You hit the nail on the head. I hope you can learn from the good ideas your friend has and discard the bad.

I think that love of money turn her to be a bad person. Because I know someone too, that because of money turn her to be evil and even deny her family because of money. She turn being evil now, and because of money she learn a lot vices...

But what did she do that was "nasty"?

We all love money and there is nothing bad to love money. Money can be a symbol of power over other people so maybe that is the reason why people wants to be more greedy. It gives them great power.

I do not think that love for money is the root of all evil; it might entice someone to change how they commit to certain actions, but it does show us the nature of a person once they are exposed to such success. I have some friends who have started their own tech businesses. From their humble beginnings starting their companies, they themselves started to change and not become so humble. Some of them had their personalities became a bit more egotistic as soon as they made some profit, but some of them did not really change their personalities. I think it's dependent on the person themselves. If you allow money to corrupt your mind, then you will become more dependent and might reveal a darker side of yourself. But earning lots of money does not always mean people will change for the worst. This can be observed on how they spend their money. If they spend their money more frivolously than they should, they are being manipulated by money; however, if they hold their composure and not allow money to change them by making smart decisions about spending money, then money is being used for good.

ABSOLUTELY! As it is written in the Bible "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith; and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10) Money can make our life comfortable, we are able to buy the comforts and pleasures in this world. But if one will love money more than their neighbor, in other words, if one puts money on a pedestal and set aside doing the right things, then no good will come out of it.

That does happen, especially if someone is suddenly making money too quickly and too easily. They start to worship money. It also happens if someone grew up in poverty, and even though they are now making money hand over fist, still they feel as if they are not making enough so that feel that even if they make about lets say, a thousand a day, they will lose it in an instant. With business, however, you may have to concentrate on it, but she really should not try so hard.

I think not all person becomes bad when it comes to money. However, most people I know really becomes greedy in terms of money. I guess having money on their hand wants them to have more and more money even they stepped out someone in their way.

nowadays that is the problem,people are becoming so jealous and quite greedy for sure because of only one reason which is money,so it is the root cause of social problems i agree

Sometimes it happens that people who have started poor are unable to handle money when they get rich. It goes to their heads. I hope this has not happened to your friend and that she will come to realise that money is spoiling her relationship with you. As you wrote, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself. Many wealthy people has proved that they can put their money to good use by helping charities and people in need. Those people are great examples of the good that money can do in the right hands.

I really do not think that money is the root of evil because we need money in order to buy things but what make it evil is that other person being so greedy in having a lot of it.The people do all things just for money even if they step on other people or even if they do bad things are the one who is bad.

her rags to riches story has made her confident in her business sense, which is good. but it does not mean that it can be applied to all types of businesses. that's when you learn to hire experts if you really want to venture in it because you can sense the potential. what i think has happened that you're reacting to is that she is becoming unethical and has started to see everyone and everything as "objects" to benefit her.
