The philosophical position mounted by the author of Ecclesiastes, Albert Camus, and other existentialists is that being rich is nice and enjoying life is good, but the work and sacrifice it takes to achieve wealth isn't worth it. More and more research seems to be backing up this proposition, and why shouldn't it? Working for even a short season of time at a pace that affects our relationships to those important to us leaves us with lost time. We irrevocably change our relationships slightly and miss out on important events. People say things like, "I'll make it up to them." The problem? You can't make up time to someone! Even if you have a lot of free time in the future, it is likely that your relations will not. Wealth is impossible to share in a socially acceptable way, and so you're left with wealth that only you will enjoy, for the most part. Edit: I'm not saying that the drive to make money shouldn't be there, but I'm not killing myself to get there.
