This is interesting. Buddhism deemed money as neutral. Just like any thing in this world like a car, house, a chair, knife, watch, diamonds, or a tree....etc, and feeling, perception, karma and even birth/consciousness. Everything is neutral but how we get it or appears and most importantly, what we do with it, is the key if that particular thing ot phenomena is good or bad. We can us the money to make something good by helping others; the highest of which is to support the 3 Jewels. A knife is good or bad depending on how it is used.
Interestingly, being born rich can be good or bad also, depending on the end results of what one born rich use the money, the power and the conditions associated with being born rich. I have seen rich kids destroys themselves by pursuing the enjoyments of life with the money they have and dying young as a result. That is bad karma. The money is bad karma. Without money, people still can die young. The reverse ie people who lives long, is also true.
