Summary

This quote suggests that controlling or having influence over someone's financial stability can exert control over their thoughts, desires, and actions. When a person's livelihood and basic needs are dependent on another individual or entity, they may feel compelled to comply with the wishes and demands of the one who holds power over their income or financial support. This highlights the vulnerability and potential manipulation that can arise when one's sustenance is under the control of another person or institution.

My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.
