Yes, this is what we are talking about. Money or moolah. There is plutomania; people with obsessive preoccupation with pursuit of wealth Then there are folks who suffered from what they call “money-rexia“.
A person with this kind of disorder or money-rexia believes that one can never be rich enough and the irrational fear that one will become destitute.
According to Lauren Cahn (Huffington Post) money-rexics are folks who have made enough wealth to live quite comfortably but who still having the fear of there will never be enough money to keep them from some unnamed, vague suffering that is yet to come. Scary, won’t you think so?
