It burns up and will be burned before the new earth is created.
Use all of God's gifts wisely and do not cling the material world.

If you leave too much money to your kids and no work ethic, they end up like Paris Hilton and friends.

I remember the time when I did not have "gas
money"..for car. -a few dollars.

Also the time when I had enough money.
- More than needed..

You have to be careful.
- Money can lure you..to greed, etc.
----
"Love of money is.."
- You know the rest of that Bible verse.

About "love of money" > why do people love money? I consider that money represents being able to do what you want. Money has no conscience; so you can use it any way you please, as long as you can get away with it.

And because others also might have selfish motives for how they use money . . . you can use those people by giving them enough money.

But love does not have us only using anyone. We need to first appreciate and love and adore and personally submit to God Himself in us, and discover how He rules us in His peace the way His word really means. And this is what really gets good things done; so in a way God's word and how He rules us according to His word is the real money which gets things done.

But He will use money, but in His honey :)

Money comes and money goes. Anything more than that comes from evil, Does not The Lord know what we need even before we need it? Has He not promised to provide all that we need, and more. One can not serve two master, for He will love the one and hate the other. I personally, hate money, for I know what it does to people, and I also know that many will fall because of it. I also, am a poor man, and yet I lack no good thing, for I trust Him, and He is faithful.
