The only thing I aspire to is keeping food on the table and a roof over our heads without stressing about being able to pay for it.
If I ever do get rich, I will raise my extended family out of poverty so they no longer have to stress either. The satisfaction from that trumps the dirty feelings having that much money sitting in a bank would engender.

edit: and micro-loans out the wazoo! They've had incredible success all over the world.
