Money is incredibly important. You need it, because without it you run into problems. But the problem is, those who have lots of it have even more problems. Don't think rich people don't have problems, they have more problems than the poor and middle class. They are just different types of problems.
Money can solve most problems that do not relate to you or another living creature. House burnt down, car needs fixing, your hungry.. fixed immediately!
But if there is a problem within yourself that you're not willing to admit or work on, money won't mean a thing.
