There are many Christians in Africa who believe that the less their wealth, the less time they need to manage them and as such the more time they will spend concentrating on their spirituality. These ones are quick to reference the "apostles of old" who according to them, did not have much material wealth.

I am not criticizing them, neither am I sharing their view. I believe that financial freedom is the best freedom anyone can ever have. It is liberating, exhilarating, rewarding and tranquilizing.

I don't believe that rejecting material wealth is a requirement to reach higher states of consciousness and enlightenment? As a matter of fact, I believe everyone should strive to attain the highest degree of financial freedom possible. No higher state of consciousness and enlightenment can be compared to that feeliing you have when you help somebody in need and put that beautiful smile on his face.
