some not so wise advie

I gave me students an assignment where they responded to an ancient quote by King Soloman, an ancient Near Eastern king. It was about money and never finding satisfaction in it...never having enough.
(By the way, his autobiography is one of the most relevent books in our daily interactions)

Well, one of the girls responded with this conclusion:

"Money can buy you a perfect marraige, but it can't buy you love."

Unfortunately, her idea is not far oof the way in which a lot of us in America think on a practical level.
