Misconception about effect of money on people

I have always been surprised by the ease with which people assume that money can have a negative effect on people. It's as if there is some kind of agreement between everyone that it's bad to have money, and everyone knows that this is so.

But it isn't true. It would be nice if we could all agree that having money is a good thing, but we can't. That's why I think people talk about "money problems" rather than "money problems." Nobody who has enough money doesn't have any problems; they just don't feel like they do because they're used to it.

If you want an example of how easy it is to assume money has a negative effect on people, look at the way we think about poverty. Poverty is usually defined as being unable to afford food or shelter; those are things you can't do without when you're poor, so it seems reasonable to assume that without them your life would be terrible. But in fact many poor people can afford food and shelter: they just don't want them because they like their other things better.

They are many misconception about the effect of money on people many think that money has no negative effect on them, well money has a good side and a bad side too it all depend on the person managing the money.

Some people allow they money they have to control their action they at times become pompous and proud looking down on others ability to make money, most occasion because others are not rich or have money to our level we see them as low class people, rejecting their opinions and ideas because they are not rich like us.

Money is our property and we need to control it not the other way round, trying to use our money we acquired to do selfish and wrong behavior will only create fear in us.

There also some important ways we too can gain from money by being able to help others that are in need, they money we make might be to much sharing it with others is not a bad idea and seeking for ways to hep them we make our money have a positive look not a negative one.
