Money is funny because the value of money changes to the person while the amount stays the same.
$5,000 that you need for surgery isn't the same as that $5,000 you put down on the car was it?
There are times when $10 meant to me more than others and the value of the money was time. So yeah, people are funny with money. The value is based on perception of current need vs the actual nomination.
And that's how the Greed/Fear tug of war is created.
