Chasing $$$

He who loves money shall never have enough.
The foolishness of thinking that wealth brings happiness!
Ecclesiastes 5:10 Living Bible

***

There’s nothing wrong with earning money. But when the pursuit of wealth keeps us from more important pursuits, it becomes a distraction to a fulfilled life.

It is easy to think that earning more money is the pathway to better living, but that is not always the case. In fact, if it’s keeping us from wiser uses of our time and energy, earning more money may actually be the very thing keeping us from happiness.

***

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;
remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Epicurus

***

“No one can serve two masters.
For you will hate one and love the other;
you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
Matthew 6:24 NLT

***

It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy,
but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while
and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.
George Lorimer
