Love of Money

"...but godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wondered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Tim 6:6-10

With the economic crisis biting, it makes one wonder whether the pursuit of money deserves to be the main mission of anyone. Is it possible to get enough and be content? How much is enough? At what point to I stop in my pursuit to get rich? What is the difference between riches and wealth?
