Stop storing up for yourselves treasures on the earth,+ where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,+ where neither moth nor rust consumes,+ and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye.+ If, then, your eye is focused,* your whole body will be bright.* 23 But if your eye is envious,*+ your whole body will be dark. If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is!
24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,+ or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches.+
25 “On this account I say to you: Stop being anxious+ about your lives* as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear.+ Does not life* mean more than food and the body than clothing?+ 26 Observe intently the birds of heaven;+ they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? 27 Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit* to his life span?+ 28 Also, why are you anxious about clothing? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, nor do they spin; 29 but I tell you that not even Sol′o·mon+ in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 30 Now if this is how God clothes the vegetation of the field that is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather clothe you, you with little faith? 31 So never be anxious+ and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to wear?’+ 32 For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 “Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.+ 34 So never be anxious about the next day,+ for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles.

Your own and better survival is the most important thing in your life. You can use your good money when you shall afford the things that you need for your survival, for your better survival.
Money is simply a token of exchange and a measure of value. Money in itself is nothing worth, not even when it is of gold or silver, when the things that you do want cannot be purchased.
Your good health is the most important thing in life. Your good will is utmost important.
On the path or avenue of your own life, you can try and more be adopting the style of the braver fighter, of the proverbial astute good old fox, no matter how young you still are, for hopefully your own and better survival.

Money could be said to symbolise whatever seems to be the most important thing in life

No.
Money is merely a tool to make trading easier. Trading is important in providing for food and shelter and trading makes your life easier, but trading is not life.

Money is life. You need it to live in this world. If you want to get and give love you have to live and to live you need money.

no, as money will not create a ripple in the universe. love will leave a impact far greater than any amount of money could ever.

It shouldn't be.
Sadly money is a very effective tool of enslavement and infantilization of the masses.

No, of course not. Everybody who gets some money immediately swaps it for something more important. Money is not wealth. Money is the opposite of wealth.
