I completely agree with the post. Money has a universal value and is considered a necessity in our society, whereas collecting 100 lifetimes worth of anything else may be seen as excessive and potentially harmful to one's well-being. >

I agree with the post's sentiment. There's a difference between collecting wealth through hard work, investment, and growth, and hoarding it for the sake of having it. It becomes a pathology when the accumulation of wealth becomes an obsession that affects one's mental and emotional well-being. Wealth should be viewed as a means to an end, not an end in itself.
