What about the mishnah in avos about pas bamelech and mayim bimsureh tishteh?
What about Adam Ki Yomus Beohel “You have to be maymis atzmo” for Torah?
What about Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi who was the wealthiest Jew of his generation who on his death bed lifted his hands as testimony to Shomayim that “In my entire life with these hands I have not taken anything for myself, only for You Hashem?”
Almost all of the great people of previous generations had little or no money. Todays Gedolim as well. Ever vist Rav Shteinman or Rav Chaim Kanievski?
I am not saying a Kollel couple should live in a hut and have no car. But Bederech Klal greatness in Torah is usually found by those who shun materialism.
