several reasons people lie come to my mind readily:
0) creating a false image to get something they covet: Money/Sexual favors/whatever else
1) make up a story or alter the truth to avoid short-term problem; this of course does tend to snowball and cause more grief in the long run if you have to keep stacking lie upon lie.
