When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. Money doesn't talk, it swears. The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money. There's no such thing as a free lunch. So you think that money is the root of all evil.
Money is like manure.
You have to spread it around or it smells. I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money. Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
