...money isn’t the root of all evil...

That's because it isn't...to explain, many people misquote a verse from the biblical texts.

1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains."

ah, interesting! I might have heard that this was misquoted before (and forgot), but I didn't know it was from the bible.

"... of all kinds of evil" is interesting too. To me this implies that loving money isn't necessarily always a problem, if it means say being frugal to save money/food to survive the winter or something, or saving for your children's future.
