We could also argue that money breeds many of the negative things this world could do without, such as corruption. Personally, to me, people who make their life goal to make a million are pathetic, they become consumed by it, but that's just my personal opinion - as honest as I can be.

Well, fighting your opinion is totally pointless as it just results in negativity flowing around and plus, I like your opinion. 
It's not really money's fault though. It is pretty much a tool that people can use for good or bad, and people do good and bad things to get it. It's like a kitchen knife. The knife is just a tool. It can be used to kill but can also be used to cut vegetables and meat. Take your pick. ^_^
By the way, I'm working towards being a millionaire but that certainly isn't my life goal. =)

What, may I ask, does this topic have to do with freelancing or any other subject to which TalkFreelance devotes it's discussion base? Unless this is just a ****ing contest, John Chow can pee higher up the wall than you can so therefore he must be amazing. Right? Does John freelance?

Lovely. Well, I like moolah, don't get me wrong, enough to take me on holiday, and to keep my away from the restrictions of having a boss. Although technically I do have a boss when I'm freelancing. Recalls the Jimmy Carr joke:
Cab Driver says, "I love my job, my own boss, nobody tells me what to do." I said, "left here."
You're quite right that it's not moolah's fault, it's humanity deep-down at the core. Perhaps we're all innately corrupt.

Amen, brother. I actually enjoy what I do, I rarely think about how I could make more money.

I'm sure he will do, as this is what this section of the forum is for. Don't like it? Don't visit it.

I believe so ..
I'm of the opinion that it's not a money issue, but a people issue. All money does is exaggerate what's already there. If you're a greedy, stingy, mean person, money and the pursuit of it is used for that purpose. If you're a giving, compassionate, kind person, money and the pursuit of it is used for that purpose.
I compare money to bricks. You can use the brick to break a window or you can use to build a hospital. What you do with that brick is dependent on what that person holding it intends.
