I'm not rich, but I do have enough money to pay off bills, put food on the table, and still have enough to spend on hobbies.
It just so happens that the only people who keep saying that money is evil are those who refuse to work while clearly being able to do so (so they can just milk "free money" from the entire rest of the population), or those with a massive student debt (you don't need to have a piece of toilet paper, I mean degree to do most jobs).
