Here is some advice on the subject from the Qur'an. Enjoy!
"Fair in the eyes of men is the love of thigs they covet: women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are hte possessions of the world's life; but nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (to return to)." 3: 14
"As in the case of those before you: they were mightire than you in power, and more flourishing in wealth and children. They had their enjoyment of their portion: and ye have of yours, as did those before you; and ye indulge in idle talk as they did. They!--- Their works are fruitless in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will lose (all spiritual good)." 9: 69
"Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: how rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?" 57: 20
"These people love this fleeting world and have put the thought of a Momentous Day behind their backs." 76: 27
"The life of the world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The abode of the hereafter, that is truly Life, if they only knew it." 29: 64
"As for the abode of the hereafter, We shall grant it to those who do not seek to exalt themselves in this world or to cause corruption in it....." 28: 83
"... Allah has given those who strive with their wealth and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind...." 4: 95
"You who believe! Do not let your wealth or children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does that is lost." 63: 9
"Set forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We provided two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date palms; in between the two We placed corn-fields. Each of those gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein: in the midst of them We caused a river to flow. (Abundant) was the produce this man had: he said to his companion, in the course of a mutual argument: "More wealth have I then you, and more honour and power in (my following of) men." He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: he said, "I deem not that this will ever perish, nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgement) will (ever) come: even if I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange." His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him: "Dost thou deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned thee into a man? But (I think) for my part that He is Allah, my Lord, and none shall I associate with my Lord. Why didst thou not, as thou wentest into thy garden, say: 'Allah's Will (be done)! There is no power but with Allah!' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealth and sons, it may be that my Lord will give me something better than thy garden, and that He will send on thy garden thunderbolts (by way of reckoning) from heaven, making it (but) slippery sand! Or the water of the garden will run off underground so that thou wilt never be able to find it." So his fruits (and enjoyment) were encompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning his hands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbled to pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had never ascribed partners to my Lord and Cherisher!" Nor had he numbers to help him against Allah, nor was he able to deliver himself. There, the (only) protection comes from Allah, the True One. He is the Best to reward, and the Best to give success. 18: 32-44 (Hey this one sounds just like our friend tr3 and the attitude he has, and how I warned him about what will happen).
Oh, and this last one here has to do with that attitude that tr3 has.
"Do not avert your face from people out of haughtiness and do not strut about arrogantly on the earth. Allah does not love anyone who is vain or boastful." 31:18
