On Being Rich

I just finished reading this passage from Psalm 49:

"Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.
Though while he lives he congratulates himself
-And though men praise you when you do well for yourself-
He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.
Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish." (Psalm 49:16-20)

Then I found this article online.

And then I was drawn back to these verses:

"Why should I fear in days of adversity,
When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,
Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?
No man can by any means redeem his brother
Or give to God a ransom for him
-For the redemption of his soul is costly, and he should cease trying forever-
That he should live on eternally,
That he should not undergo decay." (Psalm 49:5-9)

Truthfully, which appeals more to you; millions of dollars spent on yourself or eternal life spent with God?
