Just to quote a biblical passage, the bible says: The Love of Money is the root of evil, not money itself.
I think there is a lot of truth in that statement. It is our attitude about money that creates problems.
For myself, money is only valuable to the extent of what I can do with it, and I like to spend it on myself just as much as I like to spend it on others!
On the subject of the value of being poor, it is unfortunate that human nature doesn't seem to learn unless there is a need that has to be fulfilled - this is what usually inspires the drive in us to change things.
If we were'nt like that, there would not be an poverty or pain - it is the living experience that challenges us and if all of our needs were met, we wouldn't be challenged at all.
