address why you feel "guilty", discern with right reason the right course of action, take it. Being rich isn't a sin.

The path is even thinner if youre wealthy.

Im afraid of dying and not having given money away properly

>>576651

do you want to support the artist?

>>576659

Donate locally or work to help those around you. Real good is always done in the minute particulars. Those who try to change the world, particularly from afar, almost always end up making it worse.

I get your feelings fam.

I got half a million from my father, already invested more than half of it in real estate.

I'm trying to get the hold of the books of my local parish to see if it's worth donating some money too.

I talked about it with with my priest, and he told me that being rich is not a sin and that I shouldn't worry that much.

>>576651

Invest, create wealth and jobs of Christ friendly business. At least is what I would do.

Be smart.

>>576670

What do you plan to create?

Don't say AIDS, we're so close to having an anime poster not be a faggot

Full quotation:

>I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God…but with God all things are possible.

Put it into a high yield savings account or invest it. Use the money to buy a home that would be ideal for raising a family, where you can life for the rest of your life. This will basically remove the primary, biggest debt everyone has in their lives. Meaning that you are financially independent and not in debt to anyone, meaning you are free to be charitable with the income you will earn for the rest of your life.

This is pretty much the route I took. I came into a little bit of money ($29k) when I was 19. Doesn't seem like much, but to a 19 year old kid in 1991 it was mad cash. I didn't know anything about investing, but stuck $25k into various money market accounts and used $3k as down payment for a modest house on a decent size chunk of land. $1k for myself for little extravagances.

I'm now 45, married, have 4 kids, and own my house. At 19 I could never have imagined being 45 or married or having kids. It took a lot of discipline to not just blow through that money. I am by no means wealthy, but I'm comfortable. My land is mine, my bills get paid, and my kids are fed and clothed and go to school.

OP: Save that money. You'll be glad you did.

im an investment noob tho.

should I contacr a broker?

Im not raising any family.

Even if I was poor i would still try to tithe, but,alas! in my republic people still have scabies and get asma from living conditions

>>576962

I had the fortune that my uncle knew about such things and helped me a lot. I don't know about bankers today or brokers. You might ask around your church and find someone?

>>576964

I will try.

>should i buy some gold tho

Can one convert their savings into gold or are their limits or taxes imposed on it?

>>576651

For what to do with the money rather than giving it away brashly you should devote yourself toward thinking of a way in which to put that money to a use in which it could be of a productive and continual benefit to others that glorifies God at the same time.

>>576966

The trouble with gold is that it's not protected. If someone robs a bank, you still have your money. If someone robs your house, your gold is gone.

>>576975

>Not having it in a safe with a tracking device

Should be a basic necessity for anyone storing gold in their house.

>>576975

>If someone robs a bank you still have your money

People in numerous countries which suffered economic collapses would like to have a word with you.

>>576975

>his banks dont have client's safety vaults that can store gold

why tho!

>>576669

>$29k isnt much

Woah

with the association of anime girls with masturbation, you think both orthodox and catholics on this board would be hesitant to use it

it's shameful really. you see this "catholic" anime-girl poster submit stuff that's obviously wank material
