From the early ages as the first legal-tender was been invented, people were committed to depending on it forever. In the present days, people tend to be influenced by money regardless of the situation and sometimes some of the worst decision that men take have money-based motives. F. Scott Fitzgerald has emphasized in several of his writings the fact that people feel more contented when they have money, and thus tend to care less about other activities.
             Fitzgerald's text "The Rich Boy" presents the story of Anason Hunter, a young and prosperous man from the city of New York that seemed to obtain everything that he wanted. The story is told from a narrator's point of view in order to create for the readers a more intriguing and somewhat entertaining picture.
             In the beginning, Anason is presented as growing up without socializing much, as he is raised by his nanny and lacking any friends. As he grows up, he shortly finds a girl that he believes to be perfect for him as she is also wealthy and moreover she is conventional and just. Anason soon becomes fanatical about making Paula Legendre his life partner. Surprisingly, he does not admire Paula for her wealth, but because he considers her to have all the qualities of an upper-class woman. Ultimately, he dreams about them making a well doing pair, with him having excellent capacities to command and she being a perfect example for a woman fit for a leader's wife.

The people in the circles he used socialize with had been aware of Anason's condition and of his wealth and higher education. He voluntary chose to enter the world of the rich, even with his awareness of its highly hypocritical character.
