I don't understand how the desire to "solve the money problem" and get to the point where money is not that essential is supposedly on some higher moral plane. It's like you're saying, "Hey, we're not greedy. We just want enough money so that we don't ever have to worry about money anymore, that's all." How does that differentiate you from the rest of the money-grubbers? Do you think that greedy people have a different goal? I'd like to solve the money problem as well, but unless I use my money for unselfish purposes I'm not going to pretend that I have higher ideals than others who are seeking for money.
