Our biggest worry?

I was listening to a radio show this morning here in Houston that referenced some university study that found that more people in developed countries lose sleep over money than ANY OTHER issue. They went on to explain how we can try to deal with this by thinking positive thoughts about money and thinking about how to solve the money problems in our lives before bed...

My thoughts actually went a different direction: what is wrong with us that we are only concerned about this?

I have lost a great deal of sleep in the last few weeks, because my 7 month-old son needed a heart operation. I worry about my wife and children a lot more than money... and I have an MBA and worked in Private Equity (as the poor person that does all the leg work). You would think I would be more concerned with money...

I think the developed world needs to start thinking about what truly provides joy and happiness. Is it really something that can be purchased? Will a person's life become "complete" with that 80" flat screen? I think there is a fundamental flaw in our reasoning if we think that those... things... will provide joy. I think we have an addiction to material objects.

What do you all think?
