9. But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
10. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (1 Tim. 6:9-11)

I never "minded" to be rich but it turned out that I became just that, kind of late in life. Well, richer than I thought I'd be, anyway.
I'd already spent 40-some years without much coin and when it became available it didn't make much nevermind in my day-to-day life. The only thing that changed was I could buy things I never thought of buying before.
But because I never thought of buying them, I didn't necessarily want them when I could.
So, having money is better than not. As we say in the North - "No doot aboot'er."
But having lived most of a life without much moolah, having some doesn't change a whole lot. Except for making day-to-day life easier.
Which, come to think of it, DOES change a whole lot.

Doh. I really am grateful.
Yes, it says the "love of money" not the possession of it. Money today is loved like never before. Gotta have a (Name any expensive car, house, clothing, etc). If you have money, it is what you do with it that shows what you love.
