—> Anybody that thinks money (of any amount) equals TRUE happiness, is terribly lost IMO
Agree, but…
Money can make it possible to pursue the happiness you desire.
The money itself is just stored potential value.
Personally speaking, the pursuit of happiness is not “money centric”
When it comes to money we try to live by scripture. The Bible is pretty clear on the subject.
Proverbs 30:8-9 NIV
[8] Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. [9] Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
There’s also 1 Timothy 6:10
