Introduction
The social activity of a modern person is the result of a large number of various motives. The processes of social and economic stratification taking place in modern society causes an increased interest in such motives, in particular, ambition and orientationto money [3; 4]. Ambition is a person's striving to become a significant and recognized person to other people for real achievements. These achievements matter to that person himself and to other people [2].
The analysis of psychological sources showed that there are three options for the attitude of an ambitious person to money:  Money is not a significant goal of an ambitious person. He/she is rational about money.
 Money is a significant value for an ambitious person. He/she strives for high material well-being, for the status of a rich, wealthy person.
 An ambitious person demonstrates a disdain for money.
Orientation to money is a person's desire to increase their well-being. Money is the object of psychological evaluation. Obviously, different people have different attitudes towards money. For some, money is the goal and meaning of life, and they are ready to do anything for the sake of money. Someone looks at money as a tool, and someone is indifferent to money, some people view money as evil. Money can be seen as a means to achieve other goals or as a goal in itself. A person's attitude to money develops and forms in the process of education; it depends on the social environment in which a person lives. www.japmnt.com The aim of empirical research is to study the orientation to money of young people who consider themselves ambitious and compare the orientation to money of ambitious and unambitious people. The study of the orientation to money of ambitious young people is a part of a comprehensive study of the motivation of the social activity of the personality [1].

Discussion
We supposed that young people who consider themselves ambitious will have average and / or high orientation to money. Our results were oppositethey have a low orientation to money. However, the results do not contradict information in psychological sources.
We also assumed that there would be a difference in the money orientation of ambitious and unambitious young people. However, we found only one differenceonly unambitious people have a high orientation to money.
