Rapacious, Parsimonious, Greed

I'm not going to assume that my scribbling have captured the masses but if you are reading this than errm thank you I guess for you I shall continue.
As it stands here is a basic definition of greed

1.	eating of too much: the habit of eating to excess or the desire to do so
2.	strong desire for more: an overwhelming desire to have more of something such as money than is actually needed

Of course you can make this sound much more linguistically desirable with the usage of various synonyms but it ultimately boils down to the same thing. The desire or want of too much.
As I have aged, there has been one thing that has become increasingly apparent to me, and that is money does buy happiness. It buys a quality of life far superior to those who do not have. While it is commendable that we can look inside ourselves and find who we truly are. With no money comes a vulnerability and a rotten stench of dependency. Think about it. Money is the only reason we stay in a job we hate, earning money that clearly isn’t enough, putting up with the diabolically condescending and truculent manager(s). It's because we NEED money to function properly as adults. If you didn't need that money, you would slap that manager 3 times in the face with a loaded stapler! Before telling them exactly what you thought of them.
 If you have kids your self acceptance is not going to feed them. Soul food & food for thought doesn’t exactly work like that.
So then how greedy is too greedy?
 I want a great life for myself, my family and friends. It's possibly why I cling so closely to music, because it offers that chance to be comfortable. To live in grandeur and luxury, to do things I just would not be able to do otherwise, does that make me greedy? I want more than 1 car, more than one home in different exotic/metropolitan countries so I can escape once in a while without having to pay extortionate hotel prices. I call it a motivation to be successful and the want to have a quality of life I think all men should strive towards. What's the difference between motivation and greed? I always want the best. Always striving for a target that is in some sense is unattainable. I am completely enamoured by language. Is it greedy of me to compile a word bank of words which is almost in the 10,000's, of words I have assimilated into everyday language concluding in an ever expansive vocabulary? What's the difference between acquiring words to improve your social standing/appearance and acquiring money for the same effect? I'm not trying to give you an answer/justification. I’m just rambling superfluously about a given topic. As for my personal views on greed; I think there is thin line between wanting pre-eminent success and being greedy. I think greed is undoubtly behind most of the terrible nefarious things mankind do, but it's because we are ignorant to the nature of greed.
 Greed shouldn‘t be used as a basis for war or violence or anything that causes affliction to any being (even though it is.) Remember greed is what got us 720 HD when we had 420, it's the reason the internet speeds just keep soaring. Like every entity greed needs to be understood.
  Without a doubt though we will fail being complacent in life. You have to be a little bit greedy to get where you want to go and if you have to be even greedier to say there. (that’s just my view though)
