Number 3: They are careless and irresponsible with money.
They’re often careless and irresponsible with their money as a form of addiction. They make impulsive purchases, spend money on things they do not use, and have trouble managing their money well. Spending carelessly gives them a sense of control. The more they spend, the better they feel about themselves in terms of power and the capability to make things move.

They love the idea of having hundreds and thousands of dollars in their account, multiple real estate assets, and a lot of land in their name. This makes them look important in their own eyes and, assumingly, in other people’s eyes as well.
