When it comes to wealth; there are two basic mind sets:

1. The abundance mentality

2. Deficiency motivation

The abundance mentality says there's enough riches to go around. This mind set believes that wealth flows freely and you just need to stick your net out and grab some.

Dificiency motivation is common in the animal world. You see it when a dog is being fed and you try to take their bowl away. This mind set believes there is only so much of the pie to go around and you better get what you can and throw your elbows at anyone else that comes near your booty. (stash)

People with DM will say to a co-worker who gets an award: "oh I'm so happy for you", but deep inside they're anger is growing. They feel the award should have been theirs. When they were growing up, their parents usually dished out love and affection based on competition. Who cleaned their room better, who did more house work, who got better grades. DM people take this with them into their adult lives.
