The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. The money itself is just a "tool". How you feel about the "thing" impacts you rather than it or others (who have their own feelings about it).

I have a friend, an ex-coworker who use to use whatever was closest a a tool for whatever she needed so she broke a lot of staplers using them as hammers :-) She was impatient and if something broke, would try to fix it with force. Not a good use of things? People using money for relationships aren't using money "correctly" I don't think. I feel sorry for them.
