Money get away Get a good job with more pay
And your O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands
And make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that
Do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity
First class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
That's the beginning of the Pink Floyd song if you click through you can hear the rest of it.
Here is another link from Time about paying/bribing kids to do well in school. Honestly, it works. That is their point, but they have also shown financial incentives to be the most effective motivator in losing weight and other matters that should be dictated by willpower. Basically, the point we are teaching our kids is the Almighty Dollar is more important than the Almighty God. That's pretty much how America is set up already, but I think we know there is more to life than stuff.
That's why the church is so important we are commanded to give, of our selves of our money for the sake of others. Once you can do that, once you can say no to the god of wealth you are free to do anything just cause you want to and not because someone is going to pay to do it. Good luck finding people to pay you to lose weight or change whatever your bad habits are when it isn't a scientific study....
