    Too much money can change you to a monster! do you agree with this?
    Even a calm person, when he gets more $$$$ can dramatically change his personality.

    If you have too much money, like as rich as Bill Gates, when all the while you have to work 9-to-5 and barely making enough to pay the bills, you will go crazy with what to do with all the money and most likely be turned into a completely different person, most likely for the worse.

    yes and no, but i think it WILL change everyone.
    just the fact that he know he is rich is changing something :D

    but, i think not all people would change so dramatically, maybe a bit by being lazy to work, but also by enjoying with family and friends.

    of course who has much money, there must be someone who want his money so there might be some bad wishes against that who become rich.

    Of course it will change you, hopefully it changes you for the better. Just think how much money you could donate or all the good you could do.

    I don't know if being a millionaire makes you happy or unhappy, but I would really like the opportunity to find out! ;-)

    I personally think it depends on the type of personality coming into money. I think you will find that over time its balanced.. some people remain the same.. some people are worse and some are better. I dont think there is an overall trend. :)

    yeah! it definitely brought some changes to my behaviour! (like i dont respect others properly). I am a person who have seen both ups and lows of life!

    I heard that many people with backing of that much money show violence

    Money changes me. Whenever I have it, I always spend it! :(
    Then I become poor again. *cry*

    To take that to the extreme, amplifying is still changing, but this is a good discussion, very few people will change.... if you grew up with no money, had all friends with no money, then all of sudden inherit tons of wealth of course your lifestyle will change...

    Probably but whether good or bad will depend on you.

    hehehe I can tell you this. Who ever said that money will never bring you hapiness is one lying sack of sh*t!

    Just think if you had too much money you would have all your bills paid until the day you die. Your mortgage or multiple properties would be paid etc.

    So I think that would make me a pretty damn happy individual not to mention never having to work for someoen again. And only working if you FEEL like it :)

    I think money will change everyone but as far as if it will change someone in good or bad ways i think that has everything to do with the type of person that individual is to begin with.

    If you are a well rounded good moraled respectable and considerate person then I dont think money will turn you into a monster.

    Nine out of ten times yes.

    Not necessarily for bad, but there will be changes..oh yes, and pretty drastic ones at that.
