If I earn a decent living, then I can provide for my family. For example if one of my children has a health condition, it costs a lot of money to pay for all the care that is needed. It's good to have money to afford that. It isn't buying possessions -- it's providing for your family and why not get the best care that money can buy, if it's for your children?The other thing is if you earn more money, you can give more to charity. As my income goes up, I have a greater ability to do good because I can give to charity and they can use that money to feed the hungry, for example.To me it seems like there is efficiency and greater benefit if you have more money, assuming you use it for the right things.</blockquote>
