Does money change people?

[Gwolf66]

I'm sure that's not the case; money doesn't change people, it just brings out what they always really were inside. What do you think?

 

[boolgermaine]

Agree. Money is the undisputed catalyst in revealing a person's real feelings, fears, and prejudices.

 

[Blazing]

Yes, it does and it is always two ways whether good or bad. Money does really shows people character .

 

[Gwolf66]

I love that we all agree. For me, many people use the phrase "money changes people" to justify revealing their true selves once they've acquired wealth, instead of accepting that they're simply showing their true colors. It's exactly like that: money doesn't change people, it only reveals who they really are.

Yes you are see someone looking very humble. That humility might just be poverty in display. That same person might turned a beast with money.

That may be, but one shouldn't confuse humility with poverty; they are two completely different things.

 

[Blazing]

Yeah but people can disguise when they are poor..they could wear the garment of humility but it is mere facade.

 

[boolgermaine]

That may be, but one shouldn't confuse humility with poverty; they are two completely different things.

Point taken. We need to note that one can be rich but humble. Or poor but not humble.

Money doesn't change people, it only brings out the real you that poverty held hostage.

I completely agree with you, you couldn't have said it better.

 

[Blazing]

That's the change we are referring to. You start acting just the way you were supposed to. That means you have changed from the fake.

 

[boolgermaine]

For many, acquisition money only removes the mask one has been wearing. These kinds may show negative behaviors such as sadism, arrogance, or showyness.

 

[Fidelia]

So many people don't even show their true personalities when they are still in the stage of their life when they are struggling financially. That's why a lot of people change when they start having money. It takes a man of true character to not change their character when they have money.

 

[Blazing]

But I strongly believe that has always been their life. The stingyliness in them would show with time.

 

[boolgermaine]

On the flip side, money can indeed enable people to improve their welfare in various ways. Thus changing them positively.

Money actually changed people so I think it's depends on the type of person you are if you can decipline yourself money can never change you negatively rather in a positive way

Well, any positive change would be welcomed by me but it is bad when it changes people negatively

What do you mean by saying, if I am disciplined, money will change me negatively?
I thought it was the other way round!

Whatever he told you, if you're disciplined it's impossible for money or anything else to change you, so you're right.
