Is running after money bad?

Hi
Its my first post. I will try to remain specific.

Now a days, I read several preaching like messages on almost every platform of social media. All messages speak about take care of your family, money is not everything, spend time with beloved ones blah blah blah.

Of course, these messages appear very touching and make us think for a while.But, no one talk about real situation.
We want to earn money for our family. We want to give them a descent life and good education.

Will our family member accept our presence at the cost of their comfort?.
Will our kids get ready to spent their vacation at home when their friends will go for outing on foreign tour?.
Would our spouse not expect trending fashion accessories, electronic gadgets like apple or gifts like diamond ring or candle light dinner in a five start hotel?
Will our relatives give us any value, if we wont have money to spend on them.
How would we save for our old age if we wont earn extra?

These are few; from a long list of questions which give answer that earning money is not a choice now a days.

Recently, I was reading an article https://goo.gl/1trgM5 which was discussing same issue but i don't agree with it. In todays world earning money ensures love and happiness. We can't live a healthy life ; if we dont have money. Earn money and purchase all necessities of life.
