They get so attached to their stuff that they become even more fearful -- of losing it. For some people their stuff becomes part of their identity and self-worth, so anything that threatens the stuff threatens the self. People can become very uptight and controlling when they start earning a lot of money, and it actually drives them further into scarcity thinking rather than being an expression of abundance.

Many people fall into the trap of thinking they should get rich first doing crap work, and then they'll have the freedom to do what they love.

A lack of money or income isn't the real obstacle, but it's a very popular excuse.
Thanks.This is an eye opener.
