$100 BILLION here, $10 BILLION there. I can't imagine what my family's life would be like if we were able to keep just what we earn.

Yes, love of money is the root of all evil.
Straight up bartering is not very efficient and money can make it much more efficient. You can ”barter” first with one person who gives you something that is widely valued, etc. silver. Then you can ”barter” with that silver with someone else. I don't think that honest use of money is sinful or harmful. The problem is human nature: greed, hunger for power, etc.
It's much like guns, imho. With the power of owning a gun (or money) comes a greater responsibility to use that power wisely. Guns are not the root of the problem, neither is the money itself. But the love of money is another matter.
I agree.
