Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

I wish I knew WHO was the real author of these thoughts (too similar and recurrent, by the way)
Pro 21:9 It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.
Pro 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Pro 25:24 It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.
If that author, by personal experience was rich enough, he probably would have gone to an Inn to sleep
Philipians 4:12-13
I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ,[SUP]c[/SUP] who gives me strength.
This I agree with. I want to live this more and more, it negates both extremes of GOD WANTS YOU RICH! and YOU MUST BE POOR TO FOLLOW CHRIST!

Your words reminded me these, that I usually heard from my gradmom:
Pro 30:6 A poor man walking in truth is better than a rich liar.
"Pro 30:7-9 There are two things, Lord, I want you to do for me before I die:
Make me absolutely honest and don't let me be too poor or too rich. Give me just what I need.
If I have too much to eat, I might forget about you; if I don't have enough, I might steal and disgrace your name. "

Poverty :
Not all of those who're Poverty are good.
Some of them are not polite at all.
Some of them don't have a nice behavior
to others and if some people are poor
it's the life! They always have the choice
to persevere or to search for helps!
Wealth : Not all of those who're Wealth are bad.
Some of them can be really generous to give
without hoping to receive after.
Some of them are Wealth because
it's a heritage from their generations
of something like that.
