Money’s magnifying power

I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases, I feel the possession possess them, rather than the other way around. I like to be inventive. I want to be able to do what I want to do every day. And money lets you do that. What money does is magnify you. Whatever kind of person you are going in—and age does this too as people get older—it magnifies both … good and bad tendencies. Money gives you a chance if you’re a slob to be a big slob—a huge slob. On the other hand, if you’re inclined toward doing good things, it gives you the power to do a great many great things.
