    Everything changes people, money, friends, luck, haircuts, clothes. How it changes people depends on how much of it you get and how you can handle it. Having said that, money has a huge impact on people simply because it enables people to change so many other aspects of their lives and I think that too many changes increases the risk of becoming "bad".

    If you have a friend that encounters money don't expect them to be the same, a lot of the time they turn out to have a huge ego.

    It depends on how that person handles the money... if he lets the money take over his whole life then money will surely overpower his goodness and change it into greed... it's also a matter of self-discipline... on how you control your hunger for money and your attachment to it.

    It definitely can change people. I think it really depends on your underlying personality though - some people are poor, and still very greedy, while there are plenty of rich people that are actually very generous and not corrupt. I'm not saying at all that this accounts for all people, but there are some people like this.

    I earn more money than I used to, and I noticed I've been kicking a lot of puppies lately, so maybe it does change people.

    Money has a such an impact on women. They will go crazy with more money. Although not all of them are like that, but again thats my view.

    Sudden wealth can change a person. But wealth acquired slowly will probably not change them.
