It can be said that at this time money is the king and controller, in my country anyone who has money then can do the things he likes, starting from against the law because with money then he can pay for top lawyers, police, prosecutors to judges so that many cases involve people rich but their end result is not punished.
Material story determines human consciousness 
Perhaps our living environment is not the same, so there will be opinions or disagreements about money, I also understand its value in life when money can buy a lot of things, but no I think it will apply everything to life. I once read a book about life and culture about the country of Butan, where the happiness index is the highest in the world, they do not attach too much importance to the value of money, and the spiritual value is what they prioritize. First of all, I admire such a life. And I think if all of us living on the same planet had that value as a goal in life, everything we see would be filled with positivity.
