I hate money.
No seriously—I hate it.
I hate what it does to people.
I hate what people are willing to sacrifice for it.
I’ve seen it tear families apart, ruin friendships, and pit brother against brother.
Anything that has that kind of power over humanity is something I never want to idolize.
Now don’t get me wrong—I haven’t always thought this way. I used to believe money could solve all my problems. I thought if I just made enough of it, life would finally become peaceful. Easier. Safer.
But the truth is… that mindset was the problem.
How did I come to that conclusion?
Because life eventually introduced me to real problems.
Real struggle.
Life-changing moments.
The kind of pain money can’t fix.
I remember being angry for a long time. Asking God:
“Why me?”
“Why my family?”
But looking back now… I wouldn’t change a thing.
Those hard seasons changed me.
My relationships became stronger.
I started loving people harder.
I slowed down enough to appreciate what actually matters.
I realized money is just a tool.
A hammer can build a house or destroy one—it depends on who’s holding it. Money works the same way.
But somewhere along the line, society stopped treating money like a tool and started treating it like a god. And no matter how much people get, it’s never enough.
More money.
More status.
More stuff.
And yet people are still empty.
Because money was never meant to fill the void in the first place.
Use money. Build with it. Steward it wisely.
But don’t idolize it.
Because the moment money becomes your master, you’ll sacrifice the very things that actually make life worth living.
