    Why? Is this a question because you are doing a course or is it just something you want to be comfortable with? If you are rich, enjoy your monetry gains, if you haven't got the money then, you have nothing to lose! If you want to get biblical, most of the bible tells you that worldly possesions you were not born with, so, do you really think you need them? Ok, I don't know the verse, chapter or book but I think, basicaly, the Bible tells us more about how we should love our neighbor than how rich we should be, moneywise.

    Just my way of thinking!

    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

    1 John 2:15-17

    whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

    James 4:4
