Having More Money Doesn’t Make You A Bad PersonIt can often be a limiting belief that we are afraid to make more money because we think people who have money are bad. How much money someone has is separate from whether they are a good or bad person. People are people, and there are good and bad people out there in the world. Whether someone is good is based on that individual person's integrity, values, and ethics, not how much money they have. Money is just an amplifier - it allows good people to spread more good in the world, and bad people more bad.
