How Having Lots Of Money Is BAD

With all of us being on Steemit I think this is a topic we need to cover. I've gotten a little crazy at times, Even started crying tears of joy. When I've seen my curation rewards. Not only am I having a blast on Steemit, But I'm making more money than I could ever imagine on Steemit.
This is like one of the greatest opportunities I've ever had in my life. Although I want to make sure we also have the right mindset with receiving such amounts.

Everyone wants to make more money in the world. This makes complete sense when you consider that fact that everything seems to be getting so unbelievably expensive. While everyone seems to think that having more money will solve all of their problems, they ignore the fact that it has long been said “more money, more problems”. When you suddenly go from having little money to having a lot of money, it can negatively impact your life.

Can money buy you happiness?

It may seem like it can buy you happiness, but it doesn’t. Money can change people, especially if someone goes from having nothing to having a lot of something.

Have you ever wondered why so many celebrities crash and burn or lottery winners end up struggling? If you are not used to having so much money, you are more likely to go through it than those people who have gradually worked their way up to a high level of income. People who get a huge increase in money will be more likely to splurge on items that they have always wanted without actually budgeting out their money to ensure that it lasts.

There are also negative impacts on your personality and your behavior. By suddenly having a lot of money, you may begin to think that you are better than other people. You may be sucked into the belief that money puts you on a different plane than other people, which is an unpleasant place to be especially for those people who have to deal with you.

This can tend to make people less empathetic and can have an adverse effect in how you judge other people. It can also cause people to have a sense of entitlement, thinking that people are supposed to be doing things for them.

Having a dramatic increase in money can also make you become consumed with making more money instead of just enjoying what you have. This constant chase will ultimately get you to feel more unhappiness because you always want more. Money can also cause people to be more susceptible to addictions and have difficulties when it comes to ethics.

Money may not be the root of all evil, but sometimes it just is not a good thing if you come into a lot of money unexpectedly. You may not know how to manage money, and you may get over-excited about the things that you can buy now. Money can be an incredible thing when you know how to spend it wisely. As long as you are smart about it and do not let the money get to your head, having a dramatic increase in money is not going to impact your life negatively.

The subject of money may be a boring one for most people, But it's something you must learn to successfully have a lot of it.

If you've read "The Millionaire Mind" By Harv Eker,
He goes into the mindset you need to have, In order to successfully have lots of money, Although he doesn't necessarily go into the topic of budgeting, saving and investing.
I highly recommend you read that book, In addition to some budgeting books to help you manage your money better, so you don't lose it all.
