you cannot become rich without being greedy , thats not to say that i think greedy is a huge deal btw , greed is one of the traits which spured humans to achieve tremendous things

I have to disagree. I do have some very wealthy friends and they aren't even a bit greedy. They acquired their wealth honestly and with hard work. They didn't set out to get rich either. While there are a lot if greedy rich people, not all of them are. A very honest man can become rich. In all ways. Meaning family, friends and money.
