This is a capitalist world. You can use money to satisfy your spiritual desires. People who don't usually need money already have a lot of wealth. Without money, it will be very tragic. If you have more money, your views on money will change.
Your last statement is very true, most poor people have an idea that money is evil because they do not have it and they see those that have it using it to live very easy lives compared to their own, but money is not evil money just makes getting the stuff you want a lot easier and when they get money because they are able to get out of poverty they begin to understand that fact.
