It is often said that the biggest difference between the rich and the poor has it origin from the mindset.
One major question that always borders me is "are we created with different mindset at birth and what role does environmental factors have to place on mindset of an individual".
Ubong King said "what you see determine the level of your achievement. The rich man orientation differs from the poor man orientation because While the rich man is thinking about wealth creation and self dependence, the poor is busy thinking how evil money is with the notion that money is the root of all evil hence they prefer to be poor than miss the Kingdom of God forgetting that our heavenly father who is rich expect us to take after him. Consider this,
"IS MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?"

I once believed this myth but I have realised, over time, that it is just a misconception that has been passed down through history that makes it seems real and true.
Money is a means and it is neutral. It is neither bad nor good. What makes money good or bad is the purpose for which it is used. If I used for my money for a bad or wrong purpose, that would make it bad. However, if I use it for good, say charity, then it is good.
I also found out that it is only a mentality that keeps the poor poor. Go check and you'd realise that no rich person has this mentality.

If you are keeping this mindset that money is the source of all evils, then probably you would not want to make money instead. While others are doing everything just to earn huge amount of money not to create evilness, but to satisfy all their needs because money today is almost everything. Without it, you will hardly survive in this world.

I think this is not just about money, but the mindset of the user of the money. If you will use your money to do harm to others, then it's surely an evil thing. But if you will help those who are badly needed, i think you are using money as a tool to create good deeds and serve humanity to mankind.
