This is a short excerpt from a YouTube video (spoken monologue) arguing that material wealth cannot purchase certain essential, intangible aspects of life. The speaker lists paired contrasts (e.g., house vs. home; clock vs. time) to show that money can buy objects or services but not the nonmaterial outcomes they imply (time, sleep, appetite, health, safety).

With money, you can buy a house, but not a home. With money, you can buy a clock, but not time. With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep. With money you can buy food, but not appetite. With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health. With money, you can have insurance, but not safety. And this is the problem that we all have. There are just certain things that can't be bought with material wealth.
