Proverbs 23

Proverbs 23:4
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
Cease from your consideration of it.
This has interesting timing.  Right before sitting down to read this, I was thinking about the house I'm going to purchase later this week, and how once that purchase is made, my checking account balance is going to be down to near-zero.

I don't think this verse is saying that money is bad.  However, it is saying that focusing on it is bad.  I should be responsible, which means planning ahead for the money I may need later, and what I'm going to do with it to benefit others.  But if all I do is think about making money, that's the wrong focus.
