"Is greed good?" your question suggests a twinge of conscience at "the pure joy of being successful." I doubt you're greedy, just elated, and I'm delighted that you share your success with us! Perhaps these divine words will answer your question:

Let your manner of life be free of the love of money

Every man to whom the true God has give riches and material possessions, he has even empowered him to eat from it and to carry off his portion and to rejoice ... this is the gift of God

Riches and glory are with me, hereditary values and righteousness ... to cause those loving me to take possession of substance and their storehouses I keep filled.


TSYL, let me assure you there are folks who make more before breakfast than you and I put together make all year. Some employ these gifts to help others, as did the Samaritan, others are money worshippers with $ signs in their eyes. I've known each, the first are much happier!

You didn't ask, but let me suggest that you not ship your prosperity off to someone else to distribute, many "charities" are as ethical as the mafia, religions included. When you're ready, find someone you can personally help. It will be troublesome, probably not be received with commensurate gratitude, but it will be Christlike, and you'll be the better and happier for it. I know this sounds strange, but it's true.

And Jehovah will smile upon you!

The Lord's blessing is our greatest wealth, All our work adds nothing to it!

Rejoicing with you, TSYL

Don
