Please don't break it down to "money only".

Bert Brecht once has poeted (and "Kommissar Ehrlicher" from Tatort has 
cited it in a german sunday evening talkshow):

  Armer Mann trifft reichen Mann
  und beide sehn sich an.
  Da sprach der Arme zum Reichen:
  "Wär ich nicht arm, wärst Du nicht reich!

  Poor man meets rich man
  Both are facing another
  Says the poor to the rich:
  If I were not poor, you were not rich"

But the poem needs the greater conciousness of "the poor" to understand it 
right, I guess.
