If you are addicted to money, you constantly think about money and the results of not having it. Your behavior will revolve around making money and hoarding it. You may also constantly think about how to acquire more money. A person addicted to money often compares their self-worth to the amount of money they have saved. If there is a lot of money in savings, their self-worth is high. A low amount of money in the bank and their self-worth is also low.
