6. Hey, if you're really into the money game, any pile of it not in your pile becomes a target.

If you have become really addicted to the game, you feel you HAVE TO figure out a way to get that pile into your pile. The most desperate money addicts not only want to pay no taxes, they begrudge every expenditure. They hate leaving a single penny as a tip because they could have reinvested that penny and made another fraction of a penny.

But what is the ultimate goal of this game? What does it mean to win? Does every other human on Earth have to starve to death for you to win? Money addicts have lost sight of money as a means to other ends. They make it the end in and of itself. And they feel compelled to try to set a new personal high score.
