At the risk of being pedantic (which I am), a term cannot infer anything. A term can imply, however.
In the Bible, to the point of the article: gain is not godliness; but godliness with contentment is great gain. I like that idea. It seems that great wealth is only enjoyable if one is benevolent and thrifty. It's nice not to have to think about money; and that, it seems to me, is the upside of wealth.
“At the risk of being pedantic”
I prefer cringing in silence, generally, but it’s not good to bottle things up for too long.
