have you ever dated or thought about
living the rich and luxurious lifestyle
now I know everyone has seen those
Instagram posts where users put up
pictures of a couple thousand dollars in
cash laying on their bed next to some
really cool guns or a Lamborghini with
the doors propped open in their driveway
the truth is at one point we have all
imagined ourselves in a world where we
have financial freedom to buy almost
anything we wanted so why do we get
these dreams of having a mansion with a
Lamborghini parked in the driveway
or even touring the whole world on a
vacation in fact kids and adolescents
are more likely to daydream about being
rich and famous than adults are this is
because they can experience more
identities and life possibilities more
potential as adults while adults tend to
daydream more realistically nowaday
dreaming itself is a pretty big
investment as we spend up to half of our
mental activity on daydreams or
predicting the future if that's what you
want to call it when we drift off into
the daytime dreamland we are slightly
detached from our current situations and
when we daydream about being rich it is
because these fantasies reflect a need
to rise above our frustrations of our
own lives but what if it was really real
what if you actually owned a huge
mansion with a Lamborghini and had
bedrooms full of cash with our behavior
change after having all this money in
this video I want to present you four
ways money affects our minds the first
one money motivation many studies
suggest that money can alter a person's
behavior but not always for the good
side luckily there are many grateful
wealthy people that donate huge portions
of their piggy banks for good causes but
this is sometimes an exception our
thoughts behaviors and actions link to
our psychology including factors from
the way that you were raised - even
genetics money may not control your
beliefs but it definitely influences
your attitudes and behaviors towards
others in a study to find the
motivations to complete a given task
there were three groups of subjects
these three groups were given the sweat
breaking task and moving circles from
one side of a computer screen to the
other side the first group was asked to
complete the task as a favor the second
for only 50 cents and the third for a
whopping five dollars the end results
suggested that there are two reasons for
motivation to complete a given task
social motivation was found as a first
motivator because when we recognize a
tasks social value we see the
to do it as they were the investment
getting three friends to talk us up in
front of a girl or having your parents
boast about your test scores are great
examples of social motivation however
when money is brought into the table and
returned for the completion of a task we
tend to think more about the business
value of a deal rather than the social
side of it is mowing a yard for five
dollars worth it how about five hundred
dollars this may lead to some serious
problems in one's work life if you feel
underpaid you may be at risk who
underperforming in the workplace in fact
many companies will not hire people who
are overqualified because of this if you
hire a PhD in economics to be a janitor
it is assumed they are going to work
wise since you're paying the minimum
wage on to number two self-perception
the amount of money you bring in could
affect the way you view others and in
fact even yourself up until this point
you probably did not think about
breathing because you had plenty of
oxygen you didn't have to worry about
where you were going to get your next
breath the same idea with money if you
have tons of money you spend less time
less worrying about where you're going
to get it and this has crazy
psychological effects on our behavior
one study asked individuals to rate
things such as their income class
genetics and even IQ levels the results
were eventually analyzed and produced
the result of an individual's sense of
class essentialism the wealthier the
respondent the deeper the sense of class
essentialism the individual possessed
wealthy respondents were found to
believe that class was based on genetics
the same respondents also believed that
life was fair and that you get what you
deserve however those belonging to a
lower class leave class and wealthiness
has nothing to do with genetics of
course someone who has to work 50-hour
weeks to bring home two thousand dollars
a month is going to think of themselves
a lot differently than someone who works
ten hours a week for fun and is relying
on their parents trust fund money I'm
the number three money cravings
addiction begins with a perceived
positive response to a specific behavior
chasing the same behavior for the same
response might trigger an addiction some
people have become addicted to earning
money I am sure that at least one point
in your life you have received at least
a rather large amount of money to fill
up that empty wallet that you once had
whether you work for it or not think
about that feeling you had when
Walla is full of money it feel good to
have money in your pockets I'm sure it
did this good feeling or positive
response could lead to an addiction
this is why some people become
workaholics also compulsive shopping
follows the same process when a
compulsive shopper buys something their
brain releases dopamine the famous
feel-good chemical this positive
response leads to a person chasing the
behavior more and more and to feel more
positive response thus leading to
addiction these addictions like any
other has the potential to become
dangerous the want for money may become
dangerous if you begin to perform
illegal or dangerous acts to get money
compulsive shopping can also become
dangerous when you put yourself or
others at risk if you spend more Bank
than you bring in people who want a
large amount of money in a lottery often
fall to this simply because they didn't
earn it and with earning money comes
trials and successes of learning how to
manage the money successfully the last
one is morals and ethics who is more
likely to not follow the rules whether
it's interrupting someone or taking more
than one piece of candy when the candy
bowl clearly says only take one piece of
candy or even click the like button if
you enjoyed this video
one study set out to find an answer
respondents that found themselves at a
higher class were more likely to break
the rules as long as it benefited them
the what do I have to gain from it
mindset is often more possessed by those
who have a higher wealth class they
pursue the most benefits for themselves
making them great for the business
industry so does business and/or money
have much room for ethics some people
say no that's why when you find someone
with both they make history I'm curious
who you think had morals and money leave
a comment below of someone that comes to
your mind
so after further review there seems to
be a parent correlation between
wealthiness and selfishness also if you
have more wealth you are apparently more
likely to bend the rules from time to
time to benefit your favor according to
some studies on the other hand there are
also some studies that show a
correlation between poverty and crime
just understand that correlation does
not mean causation having more money
could also make you believe that you
were rich just from your genetics and
that you deserve to be rich so yes money
does have the potential to change
someone money can even make a person go
crazy with an addiction from impulse
buying to buying the whole store I hope
