Is it okay to stockpile wealth to ensure a lavish retirement rather than help our fellow man?
And how does this all play into coveting and possibly the whole idea around a united order?

Was not directed at your OP as humor. It was my way of being able to teach my teenage boys who want everything that anyone else has about coveting. With a little humor thrown in. As I so stated a lame attempt but nothing more. Your question was sincere and I apologize if you took my comment as something more.
