Money changes a lot.
you get more free time - more time to for sports and recreation.
But you remain who you are - it does not change you.

In the United States, now more than ever. The economic divide between the extremely wealthy and the rest of the population has reached outlandish proportions. With that wealth has come a drastic imbalance of power.... the power to control almost every facet of the lives of most people. It determines what laws are established and who is exempt from obeying those laws; what taxes are levied and who is exempt from paying those taxes; and, (in a great many cases) who shall live - and who must die. Money has determined who our leaders are and who they will be in the future. So, does money change everything? No, not EVERYTHING, but...........um, a lot.
In regards to how many times I've proven this..... I can't say.
If proof is needed, however... all one has to do is examine the life of a person who has very little money. Then, compare it to the life of a person who has a great deal of money. Notice any differences?

That could'nt be further from the truth. Living most of my life slightly above the poverty level and then received an inheritance. For the first couple of weeks it was pretty neat. Being able to walk into a store and buy whatever you wanted, etc., after that it really did'nt make much difference in my life. The only thing money does is that it makes life a little less stressful. Money does not buy happiness. Only family and friends can bring happiness.

Many times. For example, if I had enough money, I would donate grand amounts to charities. Another example, if I had the money for a horse and trainer, I could pursue my dreams.
.. Doesn't mean I stop dreaming, one can always dream. I can pursue it too if I find a sponsor. Money does change many things, though where there is a will.. there's a way ;)

Money might change everything IN your life but doesnt really change you. It brings out the real you. A nice or good person DOESN'T change into a monster if he gets rich. A poor but evil person might become worse if he gets rich but that's because he was evil before but was powerless. However, there are exceptions of course.

Excess or lesser amounts of money has a profound effect on life in general. Like other humans money has in turns turned my life better or worse.

It doesnt change me...But it just makes me so i dont stress out as much. If money is tight, I am a little edgier. lol
But i likely wouldnt change much if i ran into a large sum of money.

it does.. most especially on people who doesn't know how to handle fame & fortune...they get drown...& eventually they let money rule their lives but for those who know how to look back from where they came from & puts God on the center of their lives...undeniably…its only the life that will change but not the person itself..
