  What is going on, beautiful people.
• 0:03
  Today we're going to be talking about how do narcissists view
• 0:08
  money, Money, money, money. Get that.
• 0:10
  Get in that bag. Or or lack of the bag.
• 0:14
  If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
• 0:15
  I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
• 0:18
  another episode of The Narcissist Code.
• 0:37
  Boom. Welcome back folks, welcome
• 0:39
  back, welcome back, welcome back.
• 0:40
  Yes, narcissist and money that good old that good old Skriller,
• 0:44
  that good old money Money money money money money.
• 0:47
  That's how it goes though, y'all.
• 0:48
  How do narcissists view money? The, you know, having a lot of
• 0:53
  money or the lack of money and whatnot?
• 0:56
  Because it's going to be different vibes depending on who
• 0:59
  you're dealing with, depending on the narcissistic person,
• 1:01
  Texas person that you're, you know, that you're dealing with
• 1:04
  and whatnot. So we, first of all, narcissists
• 1:08
  with money view money as control.
• 1:10
  I, I can say the same thing about narcissists that, that
• 1:13
  don't have money. They view money as control as
• 1:16
  well. That's just one of the things
• 1:17
  that happens in these relationship dynamics.
• 1:19
  They absolutely view having money as control, as power.
• 1:25
  And I think a lot of us would understand that most narcissists
• 1:29
  see money as power, right? You see the, you know, you see
• 1:33
  having a lot of money as being powerful.
• 1:35
  So that's why you see narcissists pursue money.
• 1:38
  That's why you get the Super ambitious narcissistic person,
• 1:42
  the Super delusional narcissistic person out here
• 1:45
  that just goes out and tries to get as much money as they can,
• 1:48
  like hoarding money, you know, hoarding money like a little
• 1:52
  narcissistic leprechaun, like a like a little pot of gold.
• 1:55
  Have you ever seen the old leprechaun movies?
• 1:58
  You know, you know, I'm referring to when Warren Davis
• 2:01
  was the leprechaun, which is well he was the, the original
• 2:04
  ones, the original ones with Jennifer Aniston and them in and
• 2:07
  out the the new ones leprechaun in the hood and that was OK.
• 2:10
  But you know, the original leprechaun, he could ride around
• 2:12
  on a bicycle on a farm terrorizing people.
• 2:16
  That leprechaun, that little narcissistic leprechaun is who
• 2:18
  y'all been dealing with right there when it comes to
• 2:20
  narcissistic money. But that's the space that you
• 2:24
  fall into Doug all let's be let's be realistic.
• 2:25
  Let's keep it hot and ready like a little Caesar's pizza, right?
• 2:28
  Like narcissists with money feel like they control every aspect
• 2:31
  of your life and they this is how it goes.
• 2:34
  And a narcissistic person that's only with you for their money,
• 2:37
  for your money, seems like you know, they have they deserve
• 2:40
  access to your money just because, right?
• 2:43
  They see money as power and control and they also see money
• 2:46
  as a way to control you, you know, access to your money.
• 2:50
  I need your money, but I don't bring, you know, I don't have
• 2:52
  anything to offer you, but I need your money.
• 2:54
  And they will belittle you if you don't have a certain amount
• 2:58
  of money. This is where the, you know, the
• 3:00
  gold digger dynamic comes into play with narcissistic women per
• 3:03
  SE. And there's some narcissistic
• 3:04
  men out there that will pursue that go out to people with
• 3:07
  money. But that's where they just say
• 3:09
  they feel like they need access to your money because it brings
• 3:11
  them power and control. It also gives them, it gives
• 3:14
  them this feeling of entitlement to make them feel like they can
• 3:16
  do whatever the hell that they want to do, say whatever the
• 3:19
  hell they want to say and get away with it.
• 3:21
  You know, just spit whatever they want to spit and just be
• 3:24
  forgiven and get away with every single thing.
• 3:27
  That's the mindset that goes into a lot of these narcissistic
• 3:30
  people. I can say and do whatever the
• 3:31
  hell I want to say and do because I'm saying and doing it.
• 3:36
  And you, if you're dealing with a narcissist, if you're dealing
• 3:38
  with a tax person, that's how it goes, you know, So if they have
• 3:42
  a lot of money, you'll know, like I said, and you if they're
• 3:44
  the breadwinner, if you're if, if they are the breadwinner in
• 3:47
  your household, they feel like they damn near a God.
• 3:51
  They see narcissists view money. A lot of them view money as like
• 3:55
  God. Like if I have enough money, I
• 3:58
  can control the world. And if I can't control the
• 4:00
  world, at least I can control and control the world inside of
• 4:03
  my household. So they will terrorize you and
• 4:06
  torture you if you're living with this person, if you're
• 4:08
  around this person, I think y'all see that little fruit fly
• 4:11
  flying around out here, but that's how it goes.
• 4:14
  And it's like, I, I know y'all hate dealing with people like
• 4:16
  this. I and I understand it.
• 4:18
  I, I hate dealing with people like that as well.
• 4:20
  I'm one of the ones that says I can't stand dealing with toxic
• 4:23
  narcissistic people because that's the way it goes.
• 4:25
  Because when they feel like they're having the most money,
• 4:27
  they feel like they're in control.
• 4:28
  They can tell you what to do. They're entitled to a certain
• 4:30
  type of lifestyle. They're entitled to a certain
• 4:32
  type of treatment. No matter like they don't, they
• 4:35
  don't even have to be rich. As long as they have more money
• 4:37
  than you do, they feel like they can they, they can tell you what
• 4:40
  to do. They can boss you around.
• 4:42
  I had an old narcissistic homeboy that was just like that,
• 4:44
  like super narcissist. Yeah.
• 4:46
  Like I say, when I first started real to say I was super broke,
• 4:48
  you know, I was clawing, scratching and clawing my way
• 4:52
  into the into the field. He already had money from some
• 4:55
  side, some, some little some side ventures that might not
• 4:58
  have been, might not have been legal.
• 5:00
  You know, I mean, he had money from side bedroom.
• 5:02
  He just, he, he, he just felt like he was in control, could
• 5:04
  tell people what to do, angry as hell, just like just Boston.
• 5:07
  I'm like, man, damn, you got, you got a little little darkness
• 5:10
  in your heart, don't you? You mean like you got some, your
• 5:12
  heart is dark. You got old dark hearted.
• 5:17
  But he felt like because he had a little bit of money, he can do
• 5:19
  what he wanted to do. He can control people, He can
• 5:21
  tell talk to people any way he want to.
• 5:23
  And he felt like having money. He can always buy his way out of
• 5:26
  certain situations and he can like I say, he money means no
• 5:30
  accountability pretty much to narcissistic people.
• 5:33
  As long as I have this money, you, you know, I can do and say
• 5:36
  whatever the hell I want to do and say.
• 5:38
  That's point blank period in the story.
• 5:40
  I can say and do whatever the hell I want to say and do
• 5:43
  because I'm in control of this situation right here, because
• 5:45
  I'm in, you know, I'm in hold. I'm I, I have a hold of it and
• 5:49
  what not. So if you're dealing with a
• 5:50
  narcissistic person, this is where it goes, Y'all.
• 5:52
  This is I'm not like say again, I'm not trying to I don't know
• 5:56
  what I'm trying to say right here.
• 5:57
  Y'all just be be very weary. Now if you go to the other side
• 6:00
  of the dynamic, the narcissist that has a lack of money, the
• 6:03
  same things could be true. They feel like money is, you
• 6:07
  know, the pursuit of money means means power, control, success,
• 6:12
  because they don't because they don't have it.
• 6:14
  They can sometimes still posture like they do.
• 6:18
  You know, a narcissist that doesn't have money can
• 6:23
  absolutely posture like they do and actually actually demand
• 6:27
  respect. And there's a lot of different
• 6:29
  things from you. If you're dealing with them like
• 6:30
  you need to respect me because I'm going to go get it.
• 6:33
  They can be you know, the narcissistic people that have a
• 6:35
  lack of money can be extremely when I say extremely, extremely
• 6:42
  jealous of you because you like I said, if you have any type of
• 6:46
  money, if you have any type of success, extremely jealous of
• 6:50
  you extremely if they won't let you like they won't damn, they
• 6:56
  won't let you live through it. Y'all.
• 6:58
  So that's what you're saying extremely jealous of what you
• 7:01
  have going on. You have like extremely jealous
• 7:04
  of your success, extremely jealous of what you have like
• 7:06
  money wise, whatever. And it makes them feel less
• 7:09
  than. It makes them feel less worthy
• 7:12
  because they feel less worthy. They treat the other people
• 7:15
  around them like they are like horribly.
• 7:19
  Show me a broke narcissist that treats everybody around them
• 7:23
  spectacularly and it's extremely happy with their life and the
• 7:26
  outcome. Show me one.
• 7:28
  Every narcissistic person or narcissist, the diagnosed ones
• 7:31
  that I've met that has a lack of money feels like they're about
• 7:34
  to lose their damn minds. When they feel like they're
• 7:36
  going broke, they lose their damn minds.
• 7:40
  They can't go, They can't pursue other people to take advantage
• 7:43
  of them. They become extremely
• 7:45
  manipulative. Like this is right here.
• 7:47
  Imagine a narcissist in jail, right?
• 7:49
  And they, the only thing that they have really is their words.
• 7:53
  A narcissist in jail, they get really, really good at using
• 7:56
  their words because that's all they have.
• 7:58
  Their words become their control.
• 7:59
  But they have a lack of money. They have a lack of resources.
• 8:02
  They have a lack of access to money.
• 8:03
  But guess what? If you, if you're holding them
• 8:05
  down or you're their family member or their spouse or
• 8:07
  whatever, while they're locked up, they will absolutely be
• 8:10
  trying to use their words to get money out of you.
• 8:12
  They use their words. They get very good at using
• 8:14
  their words. It's kind of like if money is a,
• 8:18
  it's one of like the five senses that a person has, right?
• 8:21
  If they have like if money is one of the senses that a
• 8:24
  narcissist has, right, like you know how touch It's what smell,
• 8:27
  taste, hearing and seeing and what not touch, They're over the
• 8:31
  five senses. The 6th sense for a narcissist
• 8:33
  is money. So they lose money.
• 8:35
  Their, their other senses get enhanced like out of like if you
• 8:38
  lose the hearing or you lose, you lose the ability to see your
• 8:41
  ears get better, you lose the ability to hear your eyes get
• 8:44
  better, that type of stuff right there.
• 8:45
  So they lose the ability. If they lose money, everything
• 8:48
  else gets better because they have to try to manipulate people
• 8:50
  out of it. So they, the narcissist without
• 8:54
  the money can be extremely manipulative as well.
• 8:56
  But like I said, so are the narcissists with the money.
• 8:58
  It's just a different form of manipulation.
• 9:00
  The narcissist without the money is trying to survive, trying to
• 9:05
  feed not only their families in their whatever, they're trying
• 9:08
  to feed their ego as well. So it's a wild battle to be a
• 9:12
  part of this, to have a partner or a parent or whoever that has
• 9:15
  a lack of money, that feels like they're entitled to have money.
• 9:20
  They feel like they're entitled to have this success.
• 9:22
  They feel like it would haven't. Haven't done anything to attain
• 9:25
  it. No, haven't done anything to try
• 9:27
  to attain it. Haven't except outside their
• 9:29
  comfort zone, haven't done anything like that.
• 9:31
  They're just out here losing their damn minds trying to
• 9:34
  figure out a way to be better, trying to figure out this,
• 9:35
  trying to figure out that and just going crazy at the same
• 9:38
  time. So this is what I'm, this is
• 9:40
  what I'm reaching out to y'all to tell y'all this today.
• 9:41
  If you're dealing with narcissists and their their
• 9:43
  money is involved, your relationship dynamics probably
• 9:46
  going to struggle. You know, the relationship that
• 9:49
  you're in is probably going to struggle because that
• 9:51
  narcissistic person is going to feel a certain type of way.
• 9:54
  They're going to feel like they've lost control.
• 9:56
  They're going to feel like they need more control and a lot of
• 9:59
  them will lose their damn minds. So this is what I'm like.
• 10:01
  I'm wishing the best for y'all. And like I said, if you're
• 10:04
  dealing with a narcissist that's in control of all the resources,
• 10:07
  in control of the money is using money to control you, you need
• 10:10
  to start making a backup plan in some way, shape or form to, you
• 10:13
  know, alleviate that stress. Because wait, imagine waking up
• 10:15
  every day with somebody else in control of your resources.
• 10:18
  That's a very that's you wake up in fight or flight.
• 10:21
  That's a you wake up in so much stress.
• 10:24
  That's hard as hell to put anybody to deal with anybody,
• 10:29
  anybody to deal with. So if you're dealing with a
• 10:32
  narcissistic person that that, like I said, if you're a stay at
• 10:34
  home parent and that narcissistic person has control
• 10:36
  of all the resources you haven't worked in a while, started
• 10:39
  looking up online stuff to try to make some side money.
• 10:41
  Like yo, I mean, look it up y'all.
• 10:44
  You can look this type of stuff up because I, if I, if I, I
• 10:47
  don't want this to go in the wrong direction.
• 10:49
  I feel like I'm chastising people who don't, you know, who
• 10:52
  chose to stay at home in some in some situations works out for
• 10:55
  the best. My, my wife is a stay at home
• 10:56
  parent. You know what I'm saying?
• 10:57
  There's nothing wrong with a stay at home parent, I promise
• 10:59
  you, but just make sure you won't have a certain access.
• 11:02
  You know, you have your name on stuff and name on things like
• 11:05
  that. Hey, babe, why my name on no
• 11:07
  bank accounts and we only have one credit card.
• 11:09
  We don't have one debit card and one car.
• 11:12
  You see how controlling that is right there?
• 11:14
  You're under there tooth and thumb.
• 11:16
  Is that right tooth? And I just made that tooth and
• 11:18
  thumb and whatnot. But anyways, y'all, they of
