Luke 12 vs 15 & 21 ¹⁵And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. ²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

The Bible describes covetousness as having abundant wealth and not using it for godly purposes.
If you put your hope or trust in your wealth to give you joy, peace, happiness, and healing, you are guilty of covetousness.
If you are boosting what you can do with your money, you are guilty of covetousness.
If you forget that God is the person who gives you prosperity, you are guilty of covetousness.
If you are acquiring a different kind of possession in this world and you are not thinking of your salvation, you are guilty of covetousness.
If you do not give glory to God for what you have, you are guilty of covetousness.
The Bible describe a covetous person as rich fools.
The Bible also says a covetous person will die suddenly.
To avoid the sin of covetousness, the richer you are materially, the richer you should be spiritually.
Which means you should use your riches for the kingdom of God
