Being rich can be defined in lots of ways. Being rich can mean being wealthy, having great possessions, being abundantly supplied with means, resources, or funds, etc.
For many, being rich means being able to do great things ,possess material wealth, get respect and power, etc. In some societies, a man's value is measured by how much money he has. A man ,whose dream is to be rich, is looking for a degree of freedom to live a fully complete life. Therefore, we can also say that being rich also mean what you can do or accomplish. Nowadays societies are organized in a way that only money can give you a sort of freedom. With that concept in view, a man's dream should be become rich.
Is it a sin to be rich?
There is absolutely nothing wrong in wanting more. God wants you to be developed in mind, soul, and body. And the only way for you to accomplish a such thing is to have plenty of money since money rules everything in our societies. However, your love of money must not be greater than the love you have for your God. Your money is only a tool that will help you. Remember: “own the money, don't let the money own you”. Being rich is not a sin but being greedy, and let the money conduct your life is one. You also have to remember to do something tangible to increase the happiness of mankind. That's how you will please your God.
