There seem to be two main groups of people who have this obsession with money: those who grew up in poverty and are terrified of ending up back there, and those who grew up with plenty of it and had it drummed into them that not having money was some sort of personal failing, so are obsessed with hanging on to it and/or making more of it. I have more sympathy with the first type than the second, but in both cases it masks a deep insecurity.
