Comment: From this article I get the point I think there are two main situations in which most people focus their attention on money: When they don't have enough and when they have more than they need. When you don't have enough money to get by, it gnaws at you much of the time, when you have more than you need you can easily fall into the traps of consumerism, over-active management of investments, and perennial dissatisfaction. Maybe money can represents a happy medium where your needs are comfortably met but you don't have enough money to start getting obsessed by what to do with it.
