Could money make you mean?
Some researchers believe richer people are more likely to be selfish and less likely to help others. So where do you fit in?
The winners of a rigged Monopoly game also grabbed more snacks
If your friends are stuffed with cash and you’re down to your last tenner, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing something wrong.
But in fact, studies suggest you may have the moral high ground.
Research by Paul Piff, a professor at the University of California, has found that richer people are more likely to think about themselves before others. In this TED talk, he said: “As people’s levels of wealth increase their feelings of compassion and empathy go down.”
In one study, students played a rigged Monopoly game. Although the players quickly worked out that it was unfair, the advantaged player increasingly lorded it over his competitor - and even ate more snacks.
Broke but generous
Here's a tip - be mean
If you’re hard up, you’re more likely to rely on friends and family. Piff believes this means these social ties are more important to you than a rich person and you’re more in tune with other people’s needs as well.
You may not find this comforting if the cupboard's bare. But Piff told us there are "many compelling reasons" being generous may pay you back in the long run.

Tips on how to invite passion and inspiration back into your life
Take opposite action
Very often, what we most feel like doing is not what would help us the most. So if you’re having low energy – you often feel like hanging out at home, while getting out and doing something actually would be more helpful. The same thing goes for feeling uninspired – we often don’t feel like doing anything. So whatever it is you want to be doing right now – try experimenting with doing the opposite. Sometimes doing something you’ve never done before will excite and ignite you like nothing else.
Loosen up
Being uninspired and feeling detached often has a physical component, as we very often end up stationary or doing physically slow things. A good way to guide yourself to a better mental state is to do something physical, like dance, running, or hiking – or yoga. Anything that will move and stretch your body will help you thinking become more flexible too.
Talk about your dreams
Tell a friend about something you would like to do one day. Try to describe it in as much detail as possible. If you don’t have a friend you can talk to about this, try writing it all out. See if you can reconnect with a dream by thinking differently, or connect with a new dream entirely.
Do what interests you the most
You might feel like nothing excites you. Like you don’t have anything. But I’m sure there is something in this wide world of possibilities that is more interesting than other things. You don’t have to be wildly in love – just moderately curious. Start there.
Let nature hold you
Sometimes all we need to get back on track is to allow ourselves to be off track for a bit. Take a walk in nature, walk barefoot on the beach, lie down in the grass and feel the earth support you. Relax, then move on.
