    name one person that doesn't like to have "stuff" we all love it. we can't get enough stuff.... and we are jealous of people who have more stuff than we do. i don't think it has to do with money as much as it has to do with stuff.... even traders back in the day were trying to get the most stuff before money ever came around.
