  How about telling us the more central and painful truth:  The root issue is the idol of self, the love of self.
  
  Pursuing money is just one form of love of self, that is pride.

  Railing at the "pursuit of money" lets 99.9% of the people off the hook, letting them cast stones.
  
  That's not being a good father, just a populist one.
