Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
Money can't buy friends, but it buys a better class of enemy. Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Money is good for bribing yourself through the inconveniences of life.
