For the better or the worse? Would you become greedy or a philanthropist? Would you give away your money or keep it?

when we married my husband made $150 a month-so we had very very little-back in the late 40's-then as years went by we bought the family farm and bought bank stock and today have financial security and yes it did change us,for the better-we contribute to many charities,help our children and grandchildren and people in the community-and that is about the only way it changed us. I doubt there are many it would not change in some way,either for better or worse-be realistic.

I think that anytime your circumstances or environment changes, you must change with it. It's just natural adaptation. So yes, I think money would change any of us, no matter what we say.
Let's assume we're talking about $1 million. For me, I would definitely be changed. I would quit my current job, and donate my time to my daughter's school, so that I could be more involved in her life, and hopefully, be a better mother.
I expect that I would inevitably become disenchanted with friends and family around me who tried to take advantage of me because of my new wealth. I would eventually become more suspicious of people's motives.
However, I would be free to support the causes that are important to me, and would happily do so, and teach my daughter to do the same.
Would I become better or worse? I guess the answer is both, in different ways. But I believe the good effects would outweigh the bad.

Keep some of it but donate the rest to the poor people and animal shelters.

It would change the quality of my life, and there are several charities I've always wanted to contribute to.

Money would change me in the respect, I would be more carefree and less stressful, and enjoy doing more for others that are less fortunate.

I would pay off all my families debts and close friends that have stuck with me through thick and thin...and then I would travel the world...(obviously depending on the amount). :-)
