Money just draws flies.

Summary

This quote is a metaphorical way of expressing the idea that money tends to attract unnecessary attention or unwanted problems. Similar to how flies are attracted to something that garners their interest or feeds their desires, money often invites people who may have ulterior motives or seek to take advantage. It highlights the potential downsides of wealth, implying that it can lead to complications, distractions, and the presence of individuals who are only interested in personal gain.
