Does money make people mean?

[Admin]

Bankrate recently released an article on a series of experiments related to how people behave when they have money on their minds.

According to Jay McDonald of Bankrate:

A new behavioral study finds that folks with money on their minds are less helpful, less considerate and less willing to ask for assistance or engage with others than those who have not been preconditioned to money. On the bright side, the money-minded tend to be more independent and focused and they tend to work longer on a task before asking for help.

Personally, I do think people with money on their minds tend to be less socialable and have a shorter fuse. The impatience probably comes from the stress one develops when they are constantly trying to make money or worried about upcoming bills.
