In ""Plum Plum Pickers," by Barrio Raymond suggest that, "men are built to experience a certain sense of honor and pride," and that money has a lot of advantages including happiness, because in the world we live in without money, there isn't much you can look forward to. Also without money you can't have a sense of power.
In the first couple of paragraphs on page 93 the author speaks about a man "Roberto Morales" and about his persona. How he was apart of "Them" meaning the bosses, Raymond states "Despite his crude, ignorant manner, showing that he was one of them, that he'd started with them, that he grew up with them, that he'd suffered all the sordid deprivations with them, h was actually the shrewdest, smartest, richest cannibal in forty counties around. they sure couldn't blame the gueros for this miscarriage." I believe that Roberto is an example of just a person with money, because the people who hired him didn't really care much how he did his job it didn't matter as long as it was getting done by someone.
Having money can have a lo of benefits including sense of pride, because the author describes how Morales tried to take 2 cents from each of the workers buckets and one of the workers Manuel stands up for his money even knowing that Morales has the upper hand. At the end Morales ends up letting them keep the 2 cents, and giving Manuel the benefit of the dought because he stood up for what he believed in and no one else did at first, but then everyone followed his lead, and for this reason is why Raymond suggested what he did.
