A woman watches an infomercial about the 'newest trend': money.

In the ad-break between acts of a soap opera, a woman sees an infomercial. It opens on a man bemoaning all his debts, and transitions into an infomercial where a woman informs the audience about the 'life-changing' benefits of the newest product: money. While showing the stark differences between the people who don't use money (and how unhappy they are), and the people who do use money (Who are all happy), it is a satirical look at the 'rich become richer and the poor become poorer' saying, where money is lauded as a fix-all for everything.
