Passage Summary: Megan thinks people only want to be rich to show off. Channen says people might just want to buy stuff for themselves, regardless of what the neighbors think.

Reasoning: Megan claims status is the only reason for excess wealth; Channen argues that the utility of money for buying goods is a reason independent of status.

Analysis: Use the 'Agree/Disagree' test to find the point of contention. Megan believes that status is a necessary condition for pursuing wealth beyond basic needs. Channen explicitly disagrees, arguing that the desire for material goods is a sufficient alternative motivation. The point of contention is whether status is the only motivator for accumulating extra wealth.
