Not disagreeing, but not agreeing either. Remember Johnny did beat the devil. Also during biblical times what was the measure of wealth? Not just ownership but slave ownership/servants if I am not mistaken. In order to retire comfortably one must save and invest. Sad that simple bank savings can't do the job.something something.....camel thru eye of a needle.....
can't win playing their games
can't beat the devil playing his tune.
everyone knows the follow up verse to when ol' johnny went down to georgia and thought he beat the devil.
that golden fiddle was cursed.
the devil always wins.
eh i kinda interpret the good book a bit different than most, i'm willing to admit.Not disagreeing, but not agreeing either. Remember Johnny did beat the devil.

Far be it from my to criticize one's faith! Glad you have it, faith in God is something many of us struggle with and are short of. Money can do great things, it can do horrible things too. For now I have a little faith in the markets, but my timeframe has been pushed out a few years.eh i kinda interpret the good book a bit different than most, i'm willing to admit.
but when Christ said "give unto caesar what is caesar'" i don't think he was implication a laissez-faire attitude towards government and/or taxes.
i think he was saying "don't give them anything because they don't earn it". i guess my definition of "comfortable" is different than most. i know that changes when you age; but there's a lot of silver spooners here lol.
what is one saving and investing? are we all supporting an evil synagogue of satan? i think so.
i'm not sure anyone my age plans on "retiring" whatever that mean. pensions aren't a thing unless you work for state, it's just a different game. that's why they are able to trap so many young people with massive college debt, entice them with get rich schemes like day trading on the market or crypto, etc.Far be it from my to criticize one's faith!
