Love can make you a shitload of money, and, despite what you think, no, money cannot buy you love. There are miserable rich people all over the place. Sure they're rich, but they did it the wrong way.

There are two main groups of rich people:

The life-loving self-made kind who enjoys work and play, who's generous and giving, always willing to help others.
The self-absorbed egotistical kind who enjoys their talents and the money they make. They may hate their job, but are usually happy when people are paying attention to them. They treat other people like shit because there is no one else in the world as good as they are.

The first kind understands love, and they love themselves and others.
The second kind just doesn't get it and hides their problems under empty fixes that money can afford them.
