When we feel we have to have stuff or have to have more money in order to be happy, to support our self esteem, or give life meaning...then money:
-working for money
-investing in money
-spending money
-and the stuff we acquire
...moves from being a fact of life to becoming the center of our life. And that is what Jesus is referring to when he says, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."
