Belief that money will make a difference in the end.
In literal sense the belief dates t least back to time of pharaohs. Then it
was the common custom to worry a lot about burial place and
wealth that could be hoarded there after death. Wealth was thought
to help in the ordeals of afterlife.
Nowadays belief isn't as literal as it used to be but it's still very much
alive. Especially economic booms seem to lift it's popularity.
Leading idea behind the belief is that it's advantageous to sacrifice
free time, relationships, health, happiness or everything in youth and
middle age in exchange for money. Money is then used for buying
meaning to free time, relationships, health or
happiness when old and senile.
Practitioners of this belief can be identified from constant hurry,
40+ hour work weeks and general angst. They are not to be considered
generally dangerous but exceptions do occur.
