Artha Sastra ( Economics ) while highlighting the importance of Wealth also warns about its hidden dangers and the pain involved in making money. On the positive side, the merits of Wealth are extolled
The wealthy man alone has friends

In the keeping pain and fretting
Pain in loss and pain in spending
