I felt that it was really easy to get consumed by money/power when I started making serious income. To feel that I'm better than other people. And I mean that in the context of running my own company, which meant I could make very unethical decisions if I wanted to. (financial services -- the easiest niche to bend the rules just a little bit) The temptation was strong, at least in my case. It took me some time to turn around, understand when enough is enough, and what is actually important in life. Therapy helped. I think that the old saying, albeit banal, rings true: "all power corrupts. and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
