"Money is a tool for humans. When money uses humans as tools something is wrong"
I need to rework this saying. Please help me come up with a bumper sticker about money being only a tool for humans...not the other way around. I'm not good with words.

3. Your thoughts are along the lines of the great economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
"We are becoming the servants in thought, as in action, of the machine we have created to serve us. Corporations no longer serve us. We serve them."

No bumper sticker there, but a great deal of truth.

4. I love JKG. My brother went to Harvard and my dad said to him "you should go up
and introduce yourself to JKG as a fellow Canadian". My brother said I'd be embarrassed to say that... plus at 6'8" JKG is really intimidating" LOL! But what a great man he was. I read his biography a long time ago.

5. Money is a tool for people. People are not a tool for money.
