Wants and 42 Needs

Nobody hates money just because they're not a millionaire.  Or billionaire... whatever.  Very few would turn down a million dollars, especially if they're broke and need something.  They hate people who seem like they have more than they do, but they don't hate the money.

All anyone needs to stay alive is clean water and the ability to get food.  To stay sane, more is required.  How much just may be the meaning of life.  42?
