Is money making merely a game in our society?

And if it is so, does that explain why rampant inequality is accepted in our society?

Society praises the rich because "they are masters of the game of making money."

My answer to that would be: And so were the slaveowners in the south. Did they deserve all those riches given how unethically they acquired it?

I'm 67 and I'm not sure I'm there. Who decides how much it is?

Don't have at least one private jet? One multimiillion dollar home? Sorry, you're not among our game-playing masters of the universe.
