    Yup it is true. Especially if they have never had so much money in their life. I have seen neighbors doing that all the time.

    I think it depends on the person, and the way the money is obtained.

    Money does change people for sure. Especially if you weren't born into wealth. But it does depend on the person.

    Take a look at the stories of the people that won mega lottery's, I remember watching a couple of shows that showed the disasters their lives became after suddenly ending up very wealthy.

    True, wealth brings misery. As you're becoming richer, the more well known you are. And that will result in being targeted by robbers and thieves. Besides, your life may be in danger too(e.g kidnap)

    Oh, I don't know, but i'm sure, we can know this easy. Give me much cash and i put a webcamera in my room. So you will be watching if i be a monster.

    I'm sure, many people can be monsters, if they won't have money on a living.

    Money will change just about everyone. More often than not its in a bad way though.

    When I was 10 and 11 my parents made decent money with their businesses. I had just about anything I wanted, I was lucky. When I was 12 their business took off and I had anything I could ask for, and then some. Throughout the next few years after that I lost my old friends because I turned into a prick little kid. Money changed me.

    My uncle works for NASA. Hes never bragged about his money and wont even tell his cat how much he makes. He changed... but hes nicer than ever.

    Money has definitely changed my parents. When I was smaller they hardly ever showed they loved me. After the money, they never showed me.

    I think it depends on the person's willpower and ethics more than anything.

    I have two grandmothers.

    First one is somewhat normal (avegare) in money group, she is not poor, neither rich, working 5 days a week, cleaning in hospital. She earn something like 70% of life minimum payout set in our country. She would give you everything, even her last penny.

    Second one was rich from the start. She would not give away something easily, but she does give something almost on every visit of mine (seems much more like bribe). Pretty much people feel that she is not a good person.

    In my case, the less rich won ;)

    The first have new house from us, she went a bit "proud", so it changed her.
    Second, if she would go poor, she would go mad ;)

    Just an example :D

    I think being rich would just make me a better person, cause it would probably eliminate some stress.
