Money is just energy.
As humans we have the right and responsibility to learn how to use money to our benefit and the benefit of others.
You can't be a good steward if you are afraid the thing of that which you are a steward.
In "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Robert T Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter, CPA explore what it is to work with money from the point of view of being rich and the rest of us.

Hopefully we save some money for the kids college and retirement.
The masses: some make and have a little money, some eke by and many rely on government entitlements to make it to the grave.
