Giving is a way of "acting as if", especially for those who say, "I'll give when I'm rich", which creates a dissonance because you have associated the two actions with each other and made them dependent upon each other.

I don't buy into this affirmation stuff anyways. I also don't believe that there's an unlimited supply of money waiting for me outside my window. WHat i do believe in is that all of us are able to get very rich, but it takes time and effort. So money is really time and effort. Since i don't have either an unlimited supply of time and effort, i will not give away as if i had and could get as much of it as i wanted.
