This is how you are: you seek wealth but you do not know why. You think you know why, but right now it is unlikely that you do. This is not criticism it is an awakening.
The 'why' precedes the wealth. Without a valid 'why' you canot become and wealthy and contented person.
Some want money for security and survival. Some want it for comfort. Some want it for lifestyle and status. These are very little 'whys' and are not worthy of your greatness. They are survival whys. They are ego whys. They are comfort whys. You are greater than this. You are more magnificent than these poor aspirations but you do not yet realise it. It may be that you stay asleep never realising it. We shall see.
Some want money for space just to be free and to explore their inner world. This is the beginning but not the end of wisdom.
Some want money to make the world a better place and aid their fellow travellers. This is wisdom.
You may question the assertion that survival is a trivial reason for wanting money. It was not always so in our past, and is not so in many poorer countries. But here, in the first world, it is trivially easy to get your basic survival needs met. What consumes the bulk of your precious time is striving for luxerie, comfort, status and prestige.
