Is money the root of all evil or can it also bring happyness? People often say the love of...

Money is just a tool. It can be made or used in good, neutral or evil ways.

The real evils are excesses of greed, fear, anger or ignorance. Any of these can motivate someone to use money (or anything else) in ways that cause harm.
People often don't think sufficiently about the consequences of their actions.

It's how money is made and used that counts.

An old guideline is to put 10% into savings (one pay day). These days, because interest on savings is below the rate of inflation, it would probably be best to put the money into superannuation (or something that accumulates value over the long term, like gold.)

Nothing wrong with it as a medium of exchange. As a medium for judging and exploiting others though - as it too often seems to be the excuse for... well...

I don't think so. I think greed is more like that. Wanting more than you need can lead to evil.

There's a difference...money itself isn't the root of all evil, it's a useful thing.
The love of money (greed) is the thing called the root of all evil.
While that's closer to the truth, some evil arises out of hatred which is not based in greed...so even the love of money is not the root of ALL evil.

I all was just put a little into savings. Doesn't have to be a lot. I set a goal for the end of the year and put a little in every check to reach that goal at the end of the year

Money is not the root of all evil - that's something a poor man says.

This is not directed at you - but just the remark.
