How do you treat money?

I read this article the other day with the following quote: “It is always believed that money is the root of all evils.”

Yes, it could be, but does it have to be? We need money for our needs. If used well, it is the greatest material benefit you could have. But, if you let yourself get carried away with the things and the services money could buy, the result can be negative.

How do you prevent money from creating negative outcomes?
