I think money is an amplifier. Money doesn't necessarily change people, rather it brings out what was hidden before.
This is an argument I have had only the past with friends. I am offering the opinion that money and power is are amplifiers in the life of a person. There is hardly anyone to who doesn't get affected by it.
For example, I remember a guy in my department when I was in school. He was all cool with and calm. He was never troublesome or did not anything to do get others angry. However, as time passed, he changed especially when he was made the course representative. He started acting ridiculously and taking out hid anger on people. It was so drastic that many people wondered what had happened with him. I wasn't surprised if though as it's a normal occurrence. He only had showing what has been happening inside of him for a long time.
This is why I'm happy with myself. I have been able since show that this doesn't happen with everybody. At least, I have shown that power does not intoxicate everyone. In little ways, I have held powerful and it has never been changed me. In the academic settings, I have had the privilege of holding positions where I oversaw my mated but I never thought I was better than the or used my power wrongly.
These things are superficial and shouldn't cause one to act like the world's now our subject.
Money is a tool, it's not the end but the means to an end and should be a treated as such. One thing people should know is that that so king as you aren't Jeff Bezoz or Bill Gates, there's someone out there who has a mirror mine than you have.
This has been my guiding rule in situations like this. Whatever I have achieved, someone else has achieves also. Achievements, whether money or power should humble us not make us change behavior.
