Having sufficient money is a way to achieve mental piece..
There can be NO mental piece with a starving tummy..
Moreever, for mental piece, different people involves in different hobbies and attributes, the most common hobby of human kind is to think for new ways of producing money and amenities..
Infact the first demand is always mental piece, and to achieve it, people go for earning money...Earning or producing money while following the righteous way is the perfect way to get mental piece..Objectibvism says so..furthermore money remains the secondary aim, the major aim remains the use of the intellect one have and the use of the freedom to follow individuality which people cherishes.

Money is essential for many of our Basic Needs. But even if people are meeting their Essential needs , they have more Materialistic Desires . So their Lives "speed" up and they "run" for Money . And only some of them and after a long time , tire out or realise they are missing something , they "slow" down and strive for mental peace.
Striving for Mental Peace requires a lot of Determination, WillPower to curb one's desires and a lot of patience which is not easy .

Because, they want to purchase mental peace with the help of money.

People have this theory that money equals everything. That once you have money...everything is fine. People will kill for money, sin for money, die for money...what is money? Is it something we need to survive as a human race? Is it truly so important and so valuable, that we must take another life? Money is the destruction of our race.... it corrupts the mind and forces us to commit evil acts upon each other. Money is the drive that is madness. People aim for money...because the way our government is set up. Money is a form of control. Nothing more... think about it for a moment. Money puts the government above us...it gives them the power. Until we destroy money.... peace will never be possible.

Money is a quick fix -- mental peace takes time and a lot patience. In the fast world we live in, not many people want to wait (for the best results), they want it now.

Because it is easier to get money compared with mental peace.....they don't know that only mental peace makes happy!

Because they beleive the big lie... It's their drug man.. We are all searching for somthing to make us happy.. Weather it be shopping, booze, drugs, sex, money...Everyone has their drug.. The crazy self indulgence of fake happiness. They will never be able to just turn and look into a sunset and let the wind blow in their face.... They can't smile when they hear a baby cry..We are all poluted my friend.. It is sad... I guess I am one of the lucky ones.. I get some ammount of happiness on a daily basis, but human nature is always present in me also.. I want to be giving more to my wife and kids.. I want money to ease the burdens of work.. Am I wrong?? Some days I feel I am, some days I am not so sure... But one thing is for sure.. I know I am lucky. I beleive in a God, I have faith, I can hear the music and the laughter, I see the other sides of war.. I will hug anyone who is willing to accept me, and I will try just a little harder tomorrow than I did today..

Money suppose to give you security and therefore mental peace.
That doesn't often happen, because the human nature tend to want more money even if they have enough already. Competition factor comes into play - I live better than my friend, or I drive a better car or I have a prettier wife....Ambitions..without them we'll still be in the stone age.

Because they did not know the truth,
moreover, money provides what you can see and feel now,
but mental peace has to do with mental activities which many don't believe.
and moreover, people think Money can give them mental peace,
so rather they run for money

Because they feel that the happiness of the mind they seek lies in money and wealth! The mental peace your refer has been wrongly related to material happiness.
