no, and for many reasons. first of all, money can only get you access to food, lodging and having fun, these things can be obtained without trading in my self-respect, love for humanity and peace of mind. second, peace of mind is the most important thing in life and yes you need money to have peace of mind but if you have to trade in your peace of mind to get it, it defeats the purpose. third, you can avoid many bad situations in life but no matter what you do you will have to live within your mind and if you have polluted this mind with bad conscience and guilt then there is nowhere you can go where life will be truly fulfilling while a man with a clean conscience even if he has nothing can enjoy the present moment, the warmth of the sun , the breeze on his face and the smiles of people around him.
