Is Striving for Wealth a Valid Pursuit?
A reader named Tom posted a comment recently on The Millionaire Next Door review:
One other area that bothered me a little about the book…they never addressed WHAT all those millionaire wanted to do with all that money or WHY they tried to accumulate so much wealth… Of course, you could be a millionaire to buy more stuff, but is that really what motivates us? I just wish they had asked each millionaire they interviewed one more question…WHY they wanted to be wealthy?
This raised a number of questions, such as
- Do I think wealth is a worthwhile goal and, if so, why?
- Is it "ok" to become wealthy?
- What does the Bible say about attempting to build wealth?
