Can You Actually Become Addicted To Making Money?

[Good-Guy]

According to me, an addiction is anything that makes you depend on a substance or behaviour that you just cannot stop. I do not think that addictions could necessarily be bad. You can be addicted to good things, too. For example, you could be addicted to eating healthy food. You could also be addicted to a healthy lifestyle and good habits. Unfortunately, majority of the people in the world are basically addicted to bad habits and bad addictions. Addictions are caused by behaviour or substance that makes us feel happy and this is the main reason why people get addicted to bad things.

We can assume that money is a kind of "substance" that also makes us happy and there are certain kinds of people who are addicted to making money. It might apparently seem that this is a kind of good addiction because why wouldn't anyone do not want to make money, right? Most of the time such "money addicts" are known as workaholics who tend to work a lot in order to make money.

They also have no problem doing overtime at their job and they try to work for many hours in a day to make money. They even spend less money so that they could save more and more. So are you addicted to making money?

Yes you can very much be addicted to making money. The same way a person can be addicted to winning. A person that has experience failure before, once they are able to see what winning feels like, there is this feeling that can't really be explained, it intoxicate, this would make them want to keep on winning. The same way when you start making money, that feeling that you worked for it, and you where able to get it, would make you want to keep on making more.

Addiction is something that I do not wish for anybody to have especially when it comes to making money and online . I am so many things that you will have to put into consideration whenever you are making money and there are some people that usually try to take it by the neck and try to force it . There are a lot of people that do not have any option than to succeed online and I saw the keep on trying different things and at the end of the day they end up becoming addicted .

In as much as it is good for you to have very good work ethic and the ability to work hard, it is also important that you should be doing it in the right way and in a way in which your mental health is not going to be affected .

Whenever you are working online no matter how much you are making it is important that you should try to take some little breaks in between. This can be from little things like taking a walk or drinking water or if possible meeting out with some people and whiling away sometime before coming back.

Yes, it is possible to become addicted in making money and this is very evident in billionaires and millionaires. There are many people who have realized that making money is the way out of penury and with this mindset, it makes it addictive for them to make money. I think it is a good addiction so long as it has to do with money. Personally, I try everyday to make myself adopt such addiction. There are many individuals who do not have anything in their minds other than making money. I know a cryptocurrency trader who is very much addicted to making money online and this has also been helpful in the sense, that it positions their mind in setting their goals and accomplishing them.


Making money online or offline is very good if it becomes addictive. Some other people who have not yet attained the height of being wealthy are also addicted when it comes to making money which is the reason they strive and struggle at every given opportunity. If there is one thing I would choose boldly to become addicted to, is making of money because I have tasted the hall of lack of money and it has a very bitter taste.

I think it is a sign of something good if one becomes addicted to making money. I prefer an addiction to making money than an addiction to poverty. Right now, I try my best each passing day to divert my whole mindset when it comes to making money. I have not seen anyone who has money and complains of being too rich, rather you would still see them working hard to make more money. There is no billionaire that is tired or uninterested in making money, whereas those that are poor quickly get tired of making money and most of their daily schedule is just being used to sleep without doing anything productive. My goal is to discover ways to make good amount of money, so I can be positively addicted. If an individual is still struggling always to make money, it would be very hard for him to be positively addicted, rather he would be under pressure.

Most traders online who are into Forex and cryptocurrency trading are very much addicted in making money and this has made them to get use to this life style. When i find feasible ways of making better money either online or offline, I would have no choice than be addicted.

Yes, I think I am addicted to online earning. And it is not a bad thing. After all, I need the money so that I can afford many things that I need. So I love working online and it has become something that I cannot do without any day. So it is a great addiction.

It is so unfortunate that people get caught up in bad addictions. I can testify this because I have been a porn and masturbation addict myself and I used to have a very negative self image about it. People who are addicted to bad things or things that are unacceptable to the society have so many mental health problems.

As for the good habits that are acceptable to the society, makes you feel good without guilt and improves your life, it is great to be addicted to them. So you engage in them without any issue.

The only problem with all addictions, whether good or bad is that they cause very bad withdrawal symptoms whenever you cannot engage in then. You will be feeling sad, depressed and less productive in your general life. It is best to know this so that you can control yourself.

I don't really think people can be addicted to making money, personally I consider addiction to be something that will be difficult to Stop such as smoking, and those involved in alcohol. The reason is because of the chemical that is being secreted into the brain such as nicotine. I believe this to be quite different from the act of making money , because making money is a pure Passion you develop towards a particular earning opportunities. That can't stop you from changing if occasion demands.

Concerning making money I don't really think people can actually be addicted to making money because addicted is something that may be difficult for you to stop but people are just passionate about making money in any area of business they have chosen to explore.

Being passionate about an area of business does not really mean that you won't go for another alternative if that is the only solution but people who are addicted to something like smoking finds it very difficult to stop and will require a very serious determination before some of them are able to stop it.

I think there is quite a huge difference between addiction and passion and passion has to do with works.

It actually depends on the individual's view of what being addicted to something is or refers to . Personally to me , the act of making money online is very interesting and personally I find out of making money online way more easy that making money offline that is why I personally indulging varieties of online businesses and jobs in order to get paid a positive and reasonable amount of money working online . in my own definition of being addicted to the act of making money online , I strongly believe that what you meant simply means loving money or loving the act of making money online by not giving yourself time to indulge in order human related activities . if this is your definition of how you consider and online money making addict then I think it is unreasonable to be addicted to the act making of money online .

As human beings we have the tendency to involve our self in other activities and practices apart from the act of making money online . money is no doubt a very valuable tool to human survival and existence , and that is why a lot of people are devoting almost all the time and energy that they have into the art of making money online it is advised to also create time for other activities like exercising , chilling out with friends , visiting colleagues and well-meaning friends , and also going to church services etc .

If you ask for my point of view on this topic addictiyis something that becomes a behavior, a part air you when you do it always being addicted to making money online is not a bad thing as for me cus making money online is hard now probably because of the economy and the high rate of unemployment some people are addicted to drugs or betting but being addicted to something good is not a problem as long as you're not scamming any one on the internet.

Another factor is time someone who doesn't have time can not work online so being addicted means you have the time to work online as you're withdrawing the money make an offline investment for your self start up something dont rely on online business cus it can crash any time so you won't be full of regrets

One has really reached the highest peak of making money when one is addicted to making money. Most people are always quick to get addicted to negative things, hence there is no much eagerness on how money can be made .

For one to be effectively addicted to making money online, there is need for one to train one's mind. The truth is that there are many online activities that can be of wasting of time to people if care is not taken.

There are many people out there that are addicted to chatting. I know of a friend that can chat the whole day off. She doesn't bother with the fact that time is precious and can be converted to money. Such a person will find it difficult to get addicted to making money.

Apart from training our mind for money making, we need to know the right people to move with. Just like someone rightly said, we will always be wherever we are now in the next 5 years if we keep on reading the same nooks and moving with the same friends. This is because people are easily get addicted to whom they move with and what they read.

Money is just like alcohol more you have, more you want. That's because just like alcohol, money also gives you pleasure. When you consume alcohol, you go high, and money also takes you high when you have more. When you have a lot of money, there is nothing you cannot buy from money. In japan, you can hire parents, in Russia, you can hire girlfriends, in the US, you can hire someone to make you a call, write emails and become your virtual friend who will remain loyal to you as long as you are paying. People are not addicted to the bank notes, people are addicted to the lifestyle people can buy when they have money. If we had a lot of money, we would improve our lifestyle, we are working hard to earn money so that we can live a comfortable life. Well a lot of us are addicted to making money, for money is also a necessity for a lot of us. If we don't have money, we cannot live the way we want, we cannot buy things we truly desire. If we don't have money, we will never be able to enjoy life. we cannot be happy.

Money is a number and numbers never ends so more you have, the more you are willing to have more. One thing I know about money is those who don't have are struggling to get while those who are having are still wanting for more. Thus that means they are addicted to money? Somehow true because I can see that is the hobby of rich men to continue seeing their earning. They always get proud of their money which is making them to make more money.

No matter how rich you are, making money is like a game that you can never quit. Is not that you are now hustling for but is like you don't struggle nor get stress to get what others are crying, hustling, praying, and struggling for. How sweet this will be I can guess it will be really nice and I can't stop making money even when I'm the richest man in the world.

I am obsessed earning online no doubt, you can call it addiction if you want to call it. I spend majority of my time being online, that's where I manage to earn reward, I don't earn anything offline. And their is no way I can be obsessed with offline gigs when I am not earning anything from them. I can't even walk under the sun and rain searching for white collar jobs that is suitable for me. Because their is none to me, I want to settle down 100% online, and finding the right skill to learn to make my earnings reasonable. Already I'm learning, combining 2-3 skills, which are in-demand at this current time and will always remain provided that internet is still.in existence. I know earning money online legitimately doesn't come easy, it takes a bit hard work and time for such to come through. I've been active in the last 24 months online, since then my earnings have been growing, and it gives me the confidence to continue. That's why I don't joke too when it comes to learning many ways to earn online, because it helps propel me towards getting closer to my goal of making substantial three figures of dollar income monthly.

If you say that I have been addicted to making money on the internet then you are probably very right because all my focus now is how to make money on the internet.

I plan to open an offline business in the near future but that is not really on-sight now. There are several businesses online that can fetch you an enviable income way more than any kind of offline business and the good thing that makes me to be addicted to make money online is that you can venture into several businesses at a time and manage it well.

I have a lot of interest in cryptocurrency trading and at the same time I also have interest in affiliate marketing. The beautiful thing is that I can do these two businesses simultaneously and make a lot of money from the both of them.

Making money online has taught me a lot of things because when I started to have interest in online ventures, I was only interested in making quick money. To make money online you have to be very hard-working and at the same time, patient in order to achieve your monetary goals.

It is quite very much safe to say that I'm obsessed and addicted to making money on the internet.

Yes, I think it's very possible for one to be addicted to earning money online. Infact, I can't say if addiction is the right word to use in my case but the fact still remains that I like coming online to make money. The offline method of earning money seem not to b working out for most of us and we are left with no choice than coming online to make the most of it.
Consequently, I became used to earning money online and am not really planning to quit that anytime soon. So is that really an addiction?
For you to be addicted to making money online, you should be doing stuffs that you like or you see as fun. For some people it could be play to earn games, it could be photo and video editing, for some they actually make money from their Tiktok videos and the rest.
I find it very difficult to get used to posting forums these days even though I love writing but the truth is that, when you discover more fun ways to make money, you will put more concentration to it.

One bad effect of addiction is that it makes you not to care for anything else. Your social, mental, physical wellbeing might not really be well taken care of, because you're too concentrated with your economic life.
