Making money however....Any person can get a job at McDonalds...making money is EASY
You spend money, waste money, invest money. Money comes and goes. But no one can take away your education.
Education > Money

Came in here to post exactly that but it's already been mentioned.
Money comes and goes. But everything that I've learned of substance has stayed with me .
What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar (
Prov. 19:22).
The rich do not necessarily find it essential to speak gently to others. According to
Proverbs 18:23 the rich man “answers roughly.” The Ebenezer Scrooges of life do not deal kindly with others, but Proverbs implies that kindness is more important than riches. Very specifically, we are told in 19:22 that it is better to be an honest man than a wealthy one, if one must choose between the two.
A GOOD REPUTATION IS BETTER THAN WEALTH.
GODLY CHARACTER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY. It is more important to be righteous than to be rich. A man’s integrity is more important than his affluence.
Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool (19:1).
Better is a little with righteousness Than great income with injustice (16:
.
“Take my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choicest gold. For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her” (8:10-11).
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold, And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver (16:16).
“Money isn’t everything,” someone has been quoted as saying “but it’s a long way ahead of whatever is in second place.” Proverbs informs us that not only is money not in first place, it is not even in the running for second place. One reason is that money simply cannot purchase those things in life which are most important.
There are two primary reasons why money fails to make a man secure. The first is that money simply cannot purchase security, for security cannot be bought. There are those who deceive themselves by thinking that wealth offers them security, but this is only imaginary.
A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination (18:11).
The second reason money cannot offer us security is that wealth itself is often only temporary. Not only does our wealth fail to make us secure, our wealth itself is insecure.
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings, Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens (23:4-5).
The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding sees through him (28:11).
