We are reminded of money in many small ways like Gong xi Fa Cai, or even Feng Shui (for luck, prosperity, and oh yeah...health), horoscopes (look at wealth first), and obsession with mandarin oranges (kam). On another note, look at Malays for example. Their Hari Raya greetings are always "Maaf Zahir Batin", and general well-wishes. Hmm, seems like certain cultural traits can be traced to how members of a race greets each other...
