Money [[Lonely Atat the Top|makes you lonely]], [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense|foolish]], or even evil, but worst than any of these: since you can buy anything, including having people do everything that needs to be done, you are bored, ''bored'', '''bored'''. There are no more challenges in life. You don't have to work. You don't have to keep house. [[Idle Rich|You don't, in fact, have to]] ''[[Idle Rich|do]]'' [[Idle Rich|anything.]]
 
And everyone expects you to like it.

* In [[The Musical]] of ''[[Candide]]'', in the song "Bon Voyage", the Governor sings about this.
{{quote| I'm so rich that my life is an utter bore:<br />
There is just not a thing that I need.<br />
My desires are as dry as an apple core,<br />
And my only emotion is greed.<br />
Which is why, though I've nothing to spend it for,<br />
I have swindled this gold from Candidi-di-di-di-dide,<br />
Poor Candide! }}
