    Well, I don't consider myself a Christian but I was raised Catholic and I remember one thing:
    "Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
    When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
    Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” "
    But that's nitpicking. I agree that wealth in itself isn't bad. But wealth gives you power and power can easily bring out the worst in you.

    Should I keep a work IRA and put more than 15% into it ( Currently I put 35% into it .) or should I pay my mortgage off and put 15% into my IRA. I have no other baby steps to cover. My mortgage is being paid off at a rate of 15 years on a 30 fixed with the 35 % going into my IRA . Also should I switch to a Roth IRA instead of a plain IRA. Please explain.

    Money is neutral. It has no will of it's own so it cant be evil. But I do think money motivates and enables evil. Its easier to get if your evil. Its easier to keep when your evil.
    So I think money as a concept corrupts people and motivates selfishness and greed. So money isn't evil it just makes it easy for people to become evil and a good why to give evil people power.

    My husband and I were able to pay off 300k of debt in three years using Dave's principles. We are now on our way to being millionaires with a paid off house by the age of 35. We had to live on WAY less than we make but because we sacrificed for so long we are now able to give in more ways we could ever imagine!

      Na Na rich man is possibly more attached to his wealth and if you’re a believer then you will be expected to give and help people, basically
      God knows how money may influence people to become greedy and uncharitable, their attitude towards money can affect their faith, compared to a less wealthy person one less thing they care about before becoming a believer. The more you accumulate the more difficult it is to part with it!

    Money by definition is a falsehood; the number of participants and their enjoyment of it make no difference.
    All the fluffy words and current fortunes can neither nullify currency’s inherent evils, nor resist the inevitable crash built into economic systems.
    Wealth and money are not the same thing. When most the “value” in your exchange medium is imaginary, the pain will be great on the day it is collected on.

      When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
      Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
      TLDR; money doesn't get you into heaven, Jesus does because he makes reconciliation with a Holy and perfect God possible - an otherwise impossible task.
