Does having too much money make you greedy?
« on: October 11, 2011, 05:38:19 am »
Everyone has ambitions and goal and we all want to attain large amount of money one day with (whatever intentions we have at heart). What I would like to know is if you had alot of money, would you change your attitude and person completely? Would you still value the importance of working? Would you be happy?

I think it can change people and make the greedy or it can make someone who is already greedy worse.  I think mostly money makes people feel invincible or powerful.  They forget that it can go sometimes as quickly as it came.  Keeping true to who you are would probably be the key.

HAVING MONEY CHANGES LIVES, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE CHANGES FOR THE WORSE...I'D GIVE TO THE CHARITIES I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. :star:

I don't know but would be more than willing to test the theory.

I think yes money will change the person in the beginning but if he was raised with morals and in general he was a good person before getting the money this change will not be for long but if he wasn't that good before getting the money I think this change will be forever

I think it might temporarily change them, but after a while they would go back to their values.

I'd be interested in how much is too much?  I've had a fair amount and not enough and I think what makes you seem greedy is the fear of not having enough.

I don't think there is such a thing as too much money.  If I had tons of money yes it would definitely change my attitude towards work.  Right now I work because I have to not because I want to.  Having a lot of money would change my concept of "work."  Working a rat race 9-5 type job would have no importance to me.  My work would not involve punching a clock. My "work" would be a lot different than now.  I wouldn't have to work for money but I would use the money more as a tool to do more of the things I want.  My work would be to give back more and have the freedom to not only to change my life but I would be able to do a lot more to change the lives around me on a much grander scale.

I believe that too much money could make a financially insecure person even more insecure.  Maybe that's where greed
can enter in.  I don't believe that money can buy an unhappy person happiness.  I guess if I was to sum it up...I believe money can bring out the best in some people...but not necessarily...everyone.

 :heart:

Later...
Sherry
Have a great day!

I think even I became wealthy I would be very cautious with my money. I have always had business sense. I am very crafty at making my own items and having money would give me the push to start my own business and make investments. I knw I would never be greedy because I am always helping out other people.
