Waste and laziness are facilitators of poverty. But sustainability, efficiency and productivity are facilitators of wealth.

If you fear poverty, poverty will come upon you. If you fear wealth, wealth will evade you. Fear and money are horrible companions.

Greed is bad. Greed is the perversion and distortion of wealth consciousness. Greed is when obtaining money is prioritized above being godly. Greed is refusing to add value to other peoples lives in exchange for the value you get. Greed a result of poverty and also a cause of poverty. Don't be greedy - focus on being valuable and the wealth will come.

Poverty has always existed, and Capitalism has lifted more people out of it than anything else.
