Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms.

John Steinbeck
About This Quote

When people don’t have enough money, they are said to suffer from the sickness. The money is only one of many symptoms of the illness, and it provides no cure. When people are sick, they try to find what works for them. They do what works for them.

Some people eat better, exercise more, or take medication to keep their symptoms under control. The money is only one part of the picture, but money can help.
