The propensity to forget about the end goal one wants to achieve, and to pursue instead the means or mediums to that end goal.
A medium—for example, points or money—is a token people receive as the immediate reward of their effort. It has no value in and of itself, but it can be traded for a desired outcome. Experiments demonstrate that, when people are faced with options entailing different outcomes, the presence of a medium can alter what option they choose. This effect occurs because the medium presents an illusion of advantage to an otherwise not so advantageous option, an illusion of certainty to an otherwise uncertain option, or an illusion of linearity to an otherwise concave
effort-outcome return relationship. This work has implications for how points influence consumer choice and how money influences human behavior.

Money by itself is worthless because it is just paper and metal - medium maximization is the reason you want it.

Get the Maximemug. Maxime is this really sweet and caring guy that can't stop being so damn cute. Like literally every time you take a slight look at his face you notice a cute thing. But Maxime also hurts you sometimes without realizing he does; in these times, you hate him. But when he's nice again, you understand that he cares about you a lot, and he never meant to hurt you. Never lose the trust he has for you, and know that you probably won't find a guy like him again.

Get the Maximemug. Maxime which means maximum. Go back to your first name if ever you didn't searched it first as we all know, you don't pretty much like it. Well, maxime is a great person. She is the person you could ever ask for. She may not open up to you, but be persistent. Be her "constant". She have trust issues. She got walls higher than the great wall of china. Words are not enough to define nor describe how great she is. To you Irene, you're the most beautiful person I've ever had. And when I say beautiful, not just your appearance. The idea of having you and ofcourse you are beautiful. You're so beautiful, enough to blind me to only see the light. With you I have no darkness. I hope I can give you the same light you've been giving me. You've been my Moon. Love you, girl!
Maxime, live out your name. I hope you find solace in you. With or without me. I wish I could live forever beside you. You are one of the best things that ever happened to me. Go my Doctora. Go, Moma!
