I believe that there is no real benefit of being poor. When I say poor I mean not being able to have all your needs (i.e. food, shelter, safety). There is nothing wrong with wanting an upgrade in that department, enjoying the finer things in life, living in a big house, in a safe neighborhood.
I believe money is a problem when it becomes an obsession and defines people's personalities. If all you do is dream of money, you're missing out on a lot. Just makes sure that if you strive for wealth that you also have other aspects of life that you want to exceed at, appreciate, and enjoy. Hobbies, friends, and goals should not be focused on one thing. I'm not saying that having a primary focus is bad, i'm saying that having a singular purpose in unhealthy.
