For the love of money...

He sat up in bed, mindlessly flipping channels. Nothing seemed to be on T.V. tonight. Maybe because it was 3 A.M. Whatever the reason, he needed to find something to stop his racing mind.
His thoughts seemed to be on his life. He had no explanation why this was happening tonight but, all of a sudden, everything he had seemed worthless. His seemingly perfect life had caused him more trouble than he could imagine.
He glanced over at his sleeping wife. He was always taken back by how lucky he was to have someone as beautiful as her. How many years had it been? 20, 22? He couldn’t seem to remember. Why had she stuck with him? He had never been with her as often as he should’ve.
Work had become his priority. Everything else had fallen 2nd. His business had made millions but what had he lost in the process?
His life had offered him the luxuries he could have never imagined but what were the consequences earned in his
American Dream?
