Rich Dad Poor Dad Lesson : How You Got Your Money Can be Addictive

I recall from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki and one of his books where he said that how you got your money can be addictive. For example, it probably made you feel good to earn your first paycheck (and who wouldn't be), you feel so rewarded that you work harder for more.

Another example, people who steal money in small or big amounts. It gets so addictive that it becomes part of their attitude, a part of their personality. Same holds true for people who get into debt (I'm referring to bad debt). Get into debt, and pay the debt with another debt. If however, you got your money from investing it into a business or an asset, you will probably do it the same way for the rest of your life.

No wonder most of us just get contented with our jobs, never seeking any alternative. That's how addictive the way you got your money from is.
