Although few would deny that it’s better to be rich than poor, for some people the quest for money is so all-consuming that it extinguishes all other aspects of life.
The cause of the compulsion to make enormous sums of money varies with the individual, but often money is a substitute for something a person’s life lacks. To some, money means security. To some, it means power. To others it means they are going to be able to buy love, and to a fourth group it means competition and winning the game. The belief that money can produce these things often leads to insomnia, heart attacks and problems with a spouse or children.
A tremendous need for power is invariably the bottom line for those driven to make a lot of money. The bigger the pile, the more powerful they think they will feel. Parents and family background also influence a person’s pursuit of money. Many people who grew up poor and then made a fortune live in fear that they will lose it. Others strive for money to compete with their wealthy, successful parents. They want to be successful at any price. They do not feel they should enjoy what they have earned.
Making money for its own sake can be addicting like high-stakes gambling. Some very wealthy people work so many hours, so hard and at such an intense pace that they totally neglect themselves. They don’t eat right. They don’t sleep right. They just act as if they were poor, as if they were struggling to make a dime.
Many wealthy people are driven by the need for approval. But they may go out of their ways not to appear wealthy out of fear that they may receive less support from others.
Obsession with money is a man’s problem, but with the ranks of female executives growing, the feverish quest for money is becoming more of "equal-opportunity" problem. In some ways, women may have the greatest conflict with making money. In society’s eyes, financial achievement is not fully satisfying for women. They must also be successful as nurturers.
