Simplified Meaning:
People who believe that money can solve all problems might be willing to do anything to get more money. For example, imagine a person who thinks buying expensive gifts is the only way to make friends. This person may be quick to take any job, even one that goes against their morals, just to earn more money to buy those gifts. It suggests that their actions are driven by the desire for money, not by what is right or kind. Such a mindset can lead to poor decisions and even harm others for the sake of getting rich. It's important to value things beyond money, like honesty, kindness, and relationships, to make better choices in life.
