It's More Righteous to be Poor (my theory)

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:25)

And he began to be lifted up in the pride of his heart, and to wear very costly apparel...  (Alma 1:6)

I've noticed that some people make due with hand-me-downs rather than strive to have quality. Yet they try to get as rich as possible. It seems like a rich person is frowned upon whereas a poor person is accepted. Whether rich or poor, some people flaunt their money. What they appear to be or to have rather than who they are seems most important.

Per's theory may likely be true that if a person wins the lottery, they are a hero. But if a person earns or inherits their money, they are selfish.

Money has nothing to do with righteousness. The important thing is the desire of the heart. If money is loved more than God it's a problem. Money is not evil, the LOVE of money is. The scriptures above emphasize this.
