Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.
This too is meaningless.
As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owner
except to feast his eyes on them?
The above passage from the Bible, along with several others (Matthew 6:23-25; Luke 16:13-15; 1 Timothy 3:2-4), points to the idea that the love of money is something that should be avoided. I agree.
Unfortunately I think many of us have the misconception that to love money you first must have money. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I would argue that most of the people who have a problem with lusting after or “loving” money are those folks who don’t have a lot of it.
Just some food for thought.
