Stop looking for material treasures that will only sour your mouth and soul!

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you
will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24

If you want refuge from all the profane that plagues the world and you are seeking salvation first you must repent of your sins!

Reject the temptations of this quick and easy way of life you think you've found. How could you compare eternal life to mindless and inconsequential material gains?

You think being rich will solve all your problems? You think rich will make you happy? You think the world will magically get right with you once you have made it?

No. The only way to get this, to be happy, to have a meaningful life it's through Jesus Christ.

Whether you had made it or not. Think about all of those who actually need you and have no one else.

Would you give feed them? Would you help anyone in need if you had the chance? The reason you want to be rich it's because you want to be disconnected from life, from pain, from sorrow and from the truth.

1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

Sounds like you're giving excuses to wait for the ideal time when you can be generous. You could do it now.

In whatever you do, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble, and honor others more than yourselves. Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too.

Philippians 2:3-4

Remember The Widow’s Offering

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

The intent is what's important. Many of us went seeking for material gains and that alone, thinking that those would fix our lives. Some try to convince themselves that it's the right thing to become powerful so that only then can we help people. Think about it, If it's so important to help one another, why wait for this unlikely scenario where you are "rich" and not do it now. Stop wasting your time.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Have you heard of the Parable of the Three Servants? To do business and adquire wealth is not the issue. The issue is getting obsessed over having more than what you need.

Matthew 25:14-30

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Yes, go back to your make-believe bubble where everything is set for you to have the life you always wanted and the only thing you need to do is trust someone else to solve it all. There is nothing for you to do, just wait. It will all get better once you make it. Your parents will be proud of you and look up to you. Your friends will respect you and want to be on your life more often. You'll find love, be sure of it. Once you've uncovered who you really are after acquiring your wealth people will agree with you: You're the best! You’re so smart! You’re so lucky! I am so lucky to have met you, I'm always going to be by your side, and I love you. I love you. Maybe she does and maybe she won't leave. Maybe your new and old friends like you all the same and do care for you. Maybe your parents do think they did a great job raising you. Or maybe you don't have anyone at all. Even better then, because once you make it none of this will matter.

That's because everything you've dreamed of being depends on only one decision. Would you'd made it if it wasn't for this? Would you'd made it if you didn't risk being a fool for a year or two before whatever scam you're attached to succeeded? I don't think so and you don't think so either.

That's why you're still here, looking for yet another clue to lay back and be calm while you wait for the day when the rest of your life can truly begin. Keep waiting.

Unironically this happened to me. Blessed with abundant talent, intellect, empathy... Slowly I came to use them for myself only and pushed away and snubbed a lot of people who wanted to learn from me or be my friend because of these qualities. As I did this, a lot of bad things started to happen to me, around me and because of me. Among these, I became very ill with three chronic infections (from which I still recover today) that put me at the mercy of my family and friends to whom I'd been such a selfish prick.
Whenever I try to go back to my old talents, the illnesses flair up and I'm invariably blighted by dizziness and inability to focus, for days. It's completely humbling. Now I read the Bible sometimes and pray, but it isn't enough yet. Please pray that I can tell the truth, and help my family and friends.

I would LOVE to stop giving a shit about money, but how can I escape this cycle or mental prison? To live in a decent neighborhood in this country with no crime, it requires money. I don't want to live in the ghetto depending on government aid looking behind my bank all the time. Also, I don't want to go back to working at a shitty low-paying dead-end job again. I would become extremely depressed like last time if it came to that again. I think about money everyday, but I hate it. It's never been a passion of mine. I view my current path as a choice between a lesser of two evils. Conversely, the only way I can see myself free from bondage is if I become a multi-millionaire, so I will never have to think about this money shit ever again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_talents_or_minas
In both Matthew and Luke, a master puts his servants in charge of his goods while he is away on a trip. Upon his return, the master assesses the stewardship of his servants. He evaluates them according to how faithful each was in making wise investments of his goods to obtain a profit. It is clear that the master sought some profit from the servants’ oversight. A gain indicated faithfulness on the part of the servants. The master rewards his servants according to how each has handled his stewardship. He judges two servants as having been “faithful” and gives them a positive reward. To the single unfaithful servant, who “played it safe”, a negative compensation is given.

As a unit of currency, a talent was worth about 6,000 denarii.[1] Since a denarius was the usual payment for a day's labour,[1] the value of a talent was about twenty years of labour, by an ordinary person.[14] By contemporary standards (ca. AD 2009) at the rate of the US minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, the value of a talent would be approximately $300,000 over 20 years, while, at the median yearly wage of $26,363, a talent would be valued at about $500,000.

Support with what? Dollars?
Money is no replacement for love or parental guidance.
If you cannot find a way to support yourself first without depending on the fruits of someone else labor how do you expect to teach your kids the same?

Getting-rich-quick in crypto is akin to gambling, the money does not come from your own work, only from speculation. Depending on that circumstance being true will only make you more dependent of money.

Search for the grace of God and aim to being like Jesus and only then will you have a fruitful life.

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

You might want to double check that m8. In the story he does live from donations and tells his followers to beg. Of course none of this shit really matters because we also don't discuss for 2000 years where Gimli got his spare axe from.

Jesus did not beg. There are passages though that say we should support the teachers of the church. The apostle Paul said this, yet didn’t ask for money for himself as he earned his own living.

Jesus never asked for money then and He doesn't ask for money now. The simple truth is that money is better spent with those who NEED it

I don't need to be bright and neither do you.

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

I don't see my end goal following the path most people follow. I don't want a life of fanciness. I'm not asking to live like I'm on Park Avenue. I don't own a car. I don't need a car and I don't want a car. I'm not even convinced on buying a house, which is another form of bondage in itself.
I'm being extremely practical, however. If you want to eat healthy food, you need money. REAL food that's not filled with shit ingredients & GMOs is expensive nowadays. You have to pay bills to live, you need money. Once again, living in the right neighborhood is extremely important. Living in the wrong one can be a life or death situation. A decent, not even great, neighborhood in America requires a considerable sum of money to live in nowadays.

To respond to the scripture, all I'm asking for is a decent standard of living. Not shit, but not extravagant either, which is a foolish way of utilizing wealth. Living in destitute is demoralizing to the human condition.
...but the only way I see that will enable me to maintain a decent standard of living is to CARE about money.

Search for the Lord and he will provide.

Matthew 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Hahaha, I laugh at you all ignorants, there is a currency that Jesus insists everywhere to accumulate.

I am the grocery store owner from Argentina, and I was not going to share my pearls with the swine, but... I hold heavencoins. It is a cryptocurrency its all over the bible, you can read the whitepaper in the NASB version. You mine it by spending the injust riches on some specific actions and having legitimate love while doing so:

> "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

> "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

> "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness (fiat money), so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

lots and lots of mentions in the bible of this currency, the whitepaper its millions time more stable in value than bch or link, not even jockin. Thanks me later
