Lawlessness or lovelessness?
If sin is lawlessness, and Jesus focuses the commandments into the greatest two being Love God, and love your neighbor, then the law is to love, thus lawlessness is lovelessness. So, if we act in love, we are acting lawfully, and if we act in sin, we are acting not in love, but in selfishness. We aren't supposed to manage sin, we aren't supposed to focus on do's and don't's, instead, we are to be motivated by love. I don't know anyone who doesn't like to be loved.
psalm
“Lord, make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.
Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.
“And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.
Psalm 39 4-7 NKJV

A Thought on Life and Money
I feel like having too much money would distract from a life of adventure.
The lack of financial resources seems to enhance creativity. Learning how to be resourceful out of necessity is not only a way of freedom from financial obligation, but it makes life interesting. After all, necessity is the mother of invention.
