I think that's wrong.
It depends on society and how people are raised.

Maybe it doesn't apply to America, but in many societies, people are raised with the "money doesn't give happiness" "you will never be rich" or "you have to live a typical life just as anyone else" mentality.

This applies especially to me, since I've been raised in Poland, where it's cool to be complainign about everything and calling rich people thieves.

Ok, I am talking about Poland now, but even though he's American, maybe he was raised in a similar way.
