That's a huge relief to me. I'll end up in a higher ring of hell.Avarice is one of the 7 (?) deadly sins, but it's not a mortler.
A mortal sin has three criteria if I remember my catechism correctly:
Grievous matter
Full knowledge
Free consent
Thinking about money would not constitute grievous matter.

It's interesting that I'm the only confessor on a site dedicated to money where many individual members have thousands of posts!
Nothing wrong with that given that money essentially equals freedom so nothing to do with greed imo. If you're thinking about having/wanting more purely as a way of self-validation that's a different kettle of fish!I was doing some self reflection the other day and realised how often throughout the day I think about money: how much money I have, how much money I will have at a particular time/in different scenarios, how I could make more money, how much money I have in relation to my peers, etc. etc.
Money is obviously an important element of life and needs due consideration but at what point does the scale tip into greed?
Do you consider yourself greedy in either your thoughts or actions with respect to money?
Personally, I don't think people would consider me greedy as my actions are (I think) not generally greedy. However, I feel my internal thought processes are needlessly and probably unproductively focused on money as an end in and of itself.
Yes, but most of those people's posts are low quality and uninformative.It's interesting that I'm the only confessor on a site dedicated to money where many individual members have thousands of posts!
try telling that to many who underwent a Money Makeover on this forum.
Indeed.I'd say you should read Dante's Inferno. Figure where you fit in and then give some though to improving your lot!

Well it is hard to confess to something that requires a deity to judge your actions.It's interesting that I'm the only confessor on a site dedicated to money where many individual members have thousands of posts!
Well none of that is greed unless you intend to acquire it by unfair means or at the expense of others.how much money I have, how much money I will have at a particular time/in different scenarios, how I could make more money,
Well that's a different sin altogether, that's envyhow much money I have in relation to my peers, etc. etc.
