Money really do work like that. People won't get better until they got sufficient economic security to get of base level subsitance thinking.

This is very true. I've been a heavy saver my whole adult life and I have a number I want to hit. If things stay mostly the same for me, I should hit it within the next 10-15 years, and then I'm putting in my two weeks.

I don't need to be like one of these people who keeps making money until I die. I just want to hit a number that gives me independence and security and I'm out.
