This is a very important question that I have found forms a large part of peoples world view. This one even bleeds into many aspects of our life, how we run our business, how we choose our career, how we handle our finances and even how we make political choices.

This actually goes along with my last two posts. Wealth can bring power, and danger and like both of these it is a tool. Why you want it and how you use it makes the determination.

Dave Ramsey uses a great example. Money is like a brick. It is amoral. It has no morals. You can take it and build a School with it, or you could put it through a window. The brick does not care. It is a brick. Having a lot of money does not make you good, having a lot of money does not make you evil. He also states that all having money does is amplify who you are. If your a good person, money gives you the ability to do great things. If you are a bad person you can do evil things.
