Topic: Signs that money is controlling someone (Read 139 times)

In addition to that, they lack respect and feel so proud of themselves in speech and otherwise, they tend want to be in control of everything around them, having no regards for elders. 
When money controls people they even forget their dignity of who they are, and always to cause trouble.

You hit the nail by the heard with this response that the OP did not caption in his post. Desperation is the main motivation for most of the bad things people do to make money and without being desperate, a lot of people would have consider following the legal process that often appear lengthy. In other words, you will see someone still in secondary school already desiring to live like a king and desperately exploring various options to achieve this fantasy without considering the consequences such actions will have. If people can be made to slow down a little and appreciate what they have already while aspiring to do better, some of these desperation that propel people to crimes will disappear.

You should move this topic to politics and society or off topic I think, cos it's not crypto related.

We were not taught how to make and use money in school so it's a big problem everyone is facing. It only takes those with less or no addiction problem to control money. Money is more spiritual that once it comes to you, your brain thinks about your addiction firstly, before any other things. These addictions might be clothings, jewelries, drugs, woman, gambling and more.
If you are addicted to accumulating more investment whenever money comes, that's a good thing.
If you are addicted to calling various kinds of women whenever money arrives, that's a big problem.
The same goes with drugs, fashion, food e.t.c

So it's all depends on what you are addicted to because more of your money goes into that,
It may seems money controls you if your addiction is not responsible enough for
You control your money if your addictions are nice and juicy.

Yes i agree, you don't necessarily need to work hard, the smart ones rule. Where it seizes is knowing that only the young people have the better advantage, the old guys with families will find it difficult to share their time always being occupied with trades and affairs that should help provide for their family.

The generation we are now do not require much of our labor, our individual brilliance is the driven factor, in every field whether Medical, Engineering, Farming what ever which way, life has been made simple. Moreover, we should not be dependent on any online skill as it may not be a long term opportunity, physical investment is also important.

Greed is one of the first signs of money slavery mentality because greed at some point is a mental illness that only drags the victim into unfavorable conditions, this is the way we have to build our capacity to be above money-controlling spirit, I used to make a simple slogans to people around me sometimes and it goes this way.

Before you make money, first make sense;
What that means is that money control and management are far more important than making money because any jack can make money, but not everyone can control money.

One of the ways to know someone who has money management is the sense that, they make they money to work for them instead of working all their life for the money.

The sad thing about this pursuit of money is that some people have killed their conscience. Whether it's through rituals or fraud, they don't want to hear preaching from anybody. They just want to go and get the money; that's all they care about. Which is really sad, that some people are moving around with this mindset. And you're not safe around such people, because if they're able to get into money rituals, and you're a close friend, you might just be a victim.

Another way to know that money has taken over somebody is when they just can't afford to be temporarily broke  or be patient in the process of looking for money. They want to make it big now, now, always complaining about everything, then there's a problem. It means this person can go to lengths to satisfy the urge to live a certain lifestyle and level up.

We must be cautious of how we chase this money, because sometimes some people don't even know that they're getting obsessed. they don't know that they're doing something wrong, especially when they're hurting family and friends because they're desire to make money fast. We must watch our actions periodically and check how people around us react to us in our pursuit of wealth that helps to keep us in check.b

Like some persons would say, the world has taken a new turn and you don't necessarily need to work so hard (9-5 job) to earn money, you can think outside the box, discipline yourself and learn some skills online which can allow you to make money while you're just in your house. You could also learn some life skills and be your own boss where you could decide to go to work when ever you want.

Money is very important to enjoy life, but we can earn money via different legit methods without having to kill or rob just to be rich.

There is a bit difference but summary remains the same. The worst way i can imagine anybody trying to earn money is shedding blood all in the course of ritual or any hash decision that will claim the live of someone. Money is just something materialistic, long before we were born money existed, our fore parents died and left all these behind, it's not something to go extra miles to have meanwhile our last breathes becomes vanity to all was worked and saved up while alive.

Money is important, our needs and wants are dependent on money, don't fail to have enough but don't seek beyond what you are not qualified to have.

unfortunately, the narrative regarding the pursuit of wealth has evolved to the point where people no longer consider the means of acquiring wealth but are just after you are making it at all costs. that some can decide to run mad for two years just so he can get wealthy tells of how desperate people have become in the pursuit of wealth and do you want to imagine a situation where you are not wealthy, you get treated really bad and that has been the main reason why a lot of youth can do anything possible just to become wealthy.

generally, money controls everybody but the extent to which you allow it to influence you is what makes the difference between one who is ready to be disciplined and make money legitimately from another that is desperate and willing to do anything that can make him wealthy. there are basic things one can do to safe guide himself from being pushed to the point where desperate decision now looks like the only way to go, first and the most important thing is to be content with what you have while working to become a better person financially. lack of contentment has been responsible for the ritual killing, fraud and negative ways of making money that has now become the order of the day in our today's society. a lot of people want to measure up to their friends even when they don't have the means to and will go on to doing anything possible regardless of the consequences that comes with such action. in most case, before the law enforcement agency catches up with them, karma would have dealt with them seriously and this is the reason why we have a lot of mentally unstable people on the street who have gone to put their hands in diabolical means of getting wealth.

The gains in making money legitimately is one which we cannot overly emphasise,  there are numerous benefits of making money legitimately and the joy of labour is another that cannot be underestimated,  there are so many limitations which turns out very unpleasant that comes with illegitimate money making,  it's only  a few persons who does come to this realisation to the point they come interm with it.

Peer pressure has been one of the primary pushes to crave quick money, same has also applied to pressure from family and maybe societal validation,  it's always best to not listen to all of that and focus more on your hustle legitimately until it pays off.

To summarize, the sign that shows when someone is being controlled is when they're not in control of their own life. To make money is necessary but don't lose yourself in search of money. Money is a respecter of only those that can control it so if you want to attract money, learn to control it.

Make it your slaves that it works for you but if you're one of those types that pet money, you aren't getting it for sure. Being greedy, putting only your needs first are signs that money has the better of you. Being greedy means money is controlling you and it's because if greed that most of the points that you listed came about. Money is the root of all evil so when searching for out, keep that in minds and you won't be mislead.

Don't be a slave to money as you can't stop working all your life just to barely have enough to feed yourself and your family.

#4 & 5 are just seeming to be the same and from my view there is no different between them.
What happened is that anyone who is too desperate for something would likely join illegal way to make money, either by betraying a fellow brother, or by tarnishing his images in the presence of those whom they think would help them in life which i found very bad and wrong approach. You see patient is like a Golden keys that can never be handled by a desperate person that is why people do whatever that pleases them to money.

Actually The OP dey very correct for this thing wey him talk like this. However, I think me  self dey Included for this links matter, although I never experience anything like scamming in my life before. Because I dey always dey very careful about those links them, I dey always tell my friends them say I no dey like click any links wey I no dey sure. Because e get some links them wey you go just click on social media you go just see say them don scam you better. Normally e dey good for us to work hard because when hard on your own you are going enjoy your money rather than putting our hand for bad thing wey go come dey worry at last.

Yes you dey very very right. Many of us sef dey fear to open some links because of scam and especially me, I no even believe anything for social media anymore because of say I dey fear make them no defraud me again like them do me before when I never get clues about Bitcoin investment.
You are right say many legitimate online skills dey way fit make person become wealthy in future. So teens need to learn them so that they can keep away from fraudulent activities. E dey hard for person to come this world with a silver spoon so majority of us humans need to work before they become wealthy. Because if quick money some people done begin gambling cause them say gamble nah another means of getting money in no distance time, and some of them dey addicted to it now. So my advise be say, working hard no dey pay, so now nah to work smart.

Money is the root of evil and it will continue like that, money has made many people forget about their religion and the consequences they will face after committing the crime, money has broken many families and some people don't want to work and get legal money, many youths don't want to work again because they think they can shortly make money by scamming people, stealing from people and committing crimes is the best way to make it in life without no thinking of what will happen at the end.

I blame people who don't want to work and I also blame the leaders of the country, many ways will make people realize that illegal money is not good, although working hard is part of it but the government also needs to provide work for the youth most especially the graduate because many people that are doing fraud are the graduate who knows technology, if the government provide work I believe that the crime will reduce.

OP, thank you for this guide. I would like to add my ink to your pen:
Also in addition:
>Too much dependent
>Lack of financial discipline
>If you are not contented with what you have
>Not knowledgeable about Need &Want
>Unnecessary thinking and imaginations

Hard work and dedication pay. May we be guided

Op this is a very detailed writeup, I somuch applaud you for it, such a a great idea you got here, as for people been control by money I will say that's an individual thing, people choose what they want and like, there's one thing I know for sure which is the fact that everyone knows what's right and wrong that's to say that anyone allowing him or herself to be controlled by money does that on purposes.
In the pursuit of money individuals encounter many difficulties whether we are chasing it legitimately or illegaimately but the thing is we must no that life has principles and those principle must be followed to attain success but everything we do in life have opposite reaction and the repercussions must come as time goes by.
Many people acquire wealth legitimately from the begining but at a time they begin to deviate because of the power at the helm of affair, you must dance to those figures to operate freely thats why it is very difficult to see a rich man that's free of corrupt practices.

The term weath isn't an easy thing, if wealthy people tell you what they did to get to that level they are,  you won't find it funny, op I will tell you for free that that almost all the wealthy people did one of these things before or after they got to the level they are today though some of them realize that those act aren't good and stop it later, wealth comes with so many things that we can't imagine, if you get there you will understand,

I agree with you that every rich man started from so where and grow to unimaginable wealthy person, yea some of them invested in Bitcoin with trust and hodl for a long-term, op that's why you should emulate to invest in Bitcoin for a long-term that's if you've not started that already.
Conclusionally there's no free money anywhere, hardwork pays but it all depends on what you want as a person and the approach you applied to achieve the set goal.

Money is very essential in life, without it, many things tend to go wrong. Everyone is in the race to make money. Some earn it legitimately, while others resort to illegitimate means. The primary reason many are willing to do anything, even illegal activities to acquire money is because they allow money to control them. When you lack control over something, you will tend to follow its dictates blindly, and this is why the world is filled with so many atrocities because of the pursuit of wealth.
It’s important to know that making money is not easy, regardless of the approach. No one sits at home and magically gets rich, people work for it, especially those earning it legally. Many of the billionaires you see today started small. Their wealth didn’t come in bulk overnight. Most of them invested in various investments like Bitcoin, which eventually generated profits and built their fortunes.

Here are some signs that money is controlling someone
1: Thinking that taking someone’s life is a means to make money.
2:Marrying someone way older solely for financial gain.
3: Betraying friends for monetary benefits.
4: Defrauding people of their hard earned money.
5:Stealing from others to enrich yourself.

There is no shortcut to true wealth. To succeed in life, you must work hard and earn your money legally. Remember, if you engage in crime, you will face the consequences.
Many people are making legitimate money online without defrauding anyone. Let this be a reminder that hard work and integrity are the true paths to success.
