While in some cases this may be true, chances are it's just a matter of Taurus understanding his relationship with money and getting the things he wants out of life.
Taurus's preoccupation with money is compulsory since this sun sign rules the second house of the zodiac wheel, which is the house of finances.
Along with his appreciation for art, Taurus has a very critical eye.

Taurus' stable condition can be a boon in such a highly mutable world, but naturally, every good point is matched by its negative potential.
The same energy that serves to make Taurus so stable also results in a very immovable personality.
However, Scorpio's triplicity is also fixed like Taurus.
Taurus is typically too stable for depression.
The pragmatic nature of a typical Taurus doesn't see much use for this level of introspection; after all, there is work to be done.

Arguments between a Taurus and a Scorpio can occur over a variety of issues, but the provocative factors in these debates will likely be fueled by one or both of the individuals possessing fixed opinions.

It also depends largely on natal charts that are Scorpio and Taurus dominant.
A Scorpio and Taurus relationship doesn't need to be so complicated.
