Money can cause your ego to blow up and make you think everything you touch turns gold. Watch your ego as you make money. Audit your ego:<ul><li>Do you think too highly of yourself?</li><li>Do you talk down to people because of your money?</li><li>Is your confidence slightly too high?</li><li>Do you preach or teach?</li><li>Do you use money to buy material possessions that prove you have money?</li></ul>An out-of-control ego is the default outcome of having money.
