I believe money changes people. It could be for the best or for the worst.

Money comes with a change in status among other things. If someone who wasn't rich eventually becomes rich, that person would have to update their lifestyle, thinking and behaviour to suit the new status they have attained because of the new found wealth.

The change that comes is a result of the money. What matters is what or who you change to. Money gives you freedom to make certain decisions. Whether you decide to make good decisions or bad decisions depends on you.

That's why I think people have to be conscious of what they do when they experience a change in status resulting from wealth.
