If only people would know how sweet Torah is - they would go NUTS after it!!
Offer me a hundred million dollars never to learn Gemara again, or even Sfas Emes, or Maharal or the shiurim of Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz or the Ramban Al Hatorah or many many other sefarim - wouldn't take it. Why give up such pleasure for some green pieces of paper with pictures of old, now dead men wearing sheitlach.?!
Overrated, friends.
Money is VERY overrated.
