My only reason, to impress other people.
There are only three things that receives loved unconditionally, one is women, second is children and the last one is dogs. I, as a man, must have everything especially money in order to be loved.
Even I don't really like to sacrifice everything to make money, but as a man, I'm forced to do that.
I've sacrificed my time, my happiness, my energy, my friends, my moral, etc just to earn as much as possible.
Your idea on this is totally wrong, not everyone who always think about making money is out to impress others. Some people think of making money for themselves, everyone has a dream and passion, achieving all of this requires money, this is why they lock-in and focus on making money without allowing any form of distraction. With the way the world is going right now, it's enough reason for you to make money without even having the thought of impressing others. You have to make sure that you take care of your family and a lot of things, this are the thoughts that drives most people.
