I find the obsession with money more bizarre. It's a tool and that is all. Beyond a certain point you can't spend any more and everyone is only your friend because of that money. Any possessions you have become like chains - you don't own them - they own you. Meanwhile the hospitals and drug companies love you because you are almost certain to get a chronic illness so you get to be their favorite cash cow they never cure. As for the person you are married to and your children you are a bank.
