People tend to think of their "posessions" and those are bought with money and therefore, it's everything.
Funny though, we need air to breathe. That comes from the oceans and trees. Those can't be bought. Well, they can but... let's say there was no trees on the planet. You can't "buy" something that no longer exists. There's no seeds, there's nothing to buy and thus... no trees... so no air.
So now money is nothing, not everything.
Can it buy fish in the sea? Can it buy birds in the air? Can it buy stars in the sky?
Nope, they're all there regardless of our money.
So money isn't "everything" now is it? It's everything to some, because they have forgotten about everything else... because money has consumed their lives and everything else is just taken for granted (like friends).
