Money on the Mind

Food for thought... wealth & values.

I find there's a lot of truth in this experiment. Wealth changes a person. Come to think of it, I have noticed fist hand, among friends who became rich, or wealthier. There's an very noticeable change in their attitudes and character, before & after. The curious thing is that they are absolutely oblivious to the change themselves. It seems to occur subconsciously, and they displayed the exact traits and behaviour as shown in the Monopoly experiment in the video.

Watch the video, and then as an experiment, and observe the people around you who started off not wealthy and later had acquired wealth.

On the other hand, I have met people, who are extremely wealthy, who are among the nicest and most humble people I know.

In my opinion, those who are most prone to display the traits highlighted in the video fall into the "nouveau riche" or "new rich" category... it's actually a common behaviour across the world.
