One should not confuse a desire for money with a desire for material possessions. Much of what money can buy—education, travel, even prestige—are not material goods at all. Material goods themselves, moreover, are seldom desired for their own sake but rather for the experiences or activities they make possible.

Summarize Argument
The argument concludes that one should not confuse the desire for money with the desire for material possessions. Why? Because there are many things that money can buy that are not material possessions, and material possessions are usually desired for experiences they make possible.
