Having money problems is like walking around in wet shoes: it takes your attention, and it feels like the only problem you have.
Getting money is then like changing into dry shoes: it feels better. And after a while you notice that none of your basic or important problems have been solved yet, but now you at least have a bit more free attention to work on those.

Money and Wet Shoes: Spiritual Advancement for the Layperson
This post took me right back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Here's a good tip to avoid some problems: don't hide your cash in wet shoes.
Of course you're going to have problems whether you've money or not, but while money can't buy happiness if you've got to be unhappy having money is better than not. And rolling around in a big pile of greenbacks is a good way to improve one's mood.
The Critic: How do you sleep at night?
R. Wolfcastle: On top of a pile of money with many beautiful ladies.
(mumble mumble something vague about Joe Dick's venal sexuality)
If you didn't get that, just remember my style and use your imagination, I'm kinda busy this morning.
