Would you do anything for money?

“He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be
suspected of doing everything for money.”
-Benjamin Franklin

I see way too many people doing ANYTHING to make a buck. Bucks are overrated. I know, this is a personal finance site, and I do enjoy managing my money and try to do the best I can, but doing things the “right way” is more important than money.

It is a good thing if you often find yourself saying NO to a brilliant idea you had to make money that compromised your values. This is what people with integrity have to do on a regular basis.
