^^^ this is a mis-quote, it's actually "the love of money is the root of all evil"
This is a quote from the novel "Atlas shrugged" not the full speech as its a couple of pages long, but it gets the point across I think.
"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

I'm going to agree with CS. The love for money is truly what corrupts people. Having money though is a great resource to do good.. and I know personally not having any prohibits me from a lot of the really cool ideas I've had for community and assisting others in life for a long time now. Frankly I just want enough to do what I love.. Lifting weights, living in mexico, and traveling.
I always say.. it's a lot easier to give when your cups overflowing than when you have nothing in it.

So I attempted to fit into our tub. I had to alternate my legs and chest back and forth and even when I was fully in on my back the water didn't fully submerse me. Top of my stomach and chest still was above water... Dear lord when I'm a millionaire I'm going to get a nine foot long tub and at least 3 feet deep. I really miss taking a nice bath... Back When I was ten...
Show off! I got the same problem with having a bath and I'm only 6'1" lol...
