im 21 and i'm thinking about getting a real job, but then i get really scared like, why do i need all that extra money, my bills can easyily be paid with a retail job but my saving from my last job are gone and i am without work, i don't want to be a greedy person, i don't want to drive or own a car.
i don't want to change and be this evil money lead person, but it would be nice to not have to eat ramen all the time..
i'm so sick of retail it seems so wrong the bosses tell you to make people buy more stuff, (they don't need it)
should i go for this job and get a the money car and lots of meaningless posessions, or should i be poor and not have anything and live i a tent.... this world feels so greedy and wrong

Greed is an infatiuation with unnnatural reinforcers.
The problem with greed is that sometimes it feeds itself for no good reason, so the accumulation of money becomes itself a reinforcer, rather than the things that you use the money to obtain.
I am making better money now and I am happy eating Ramen and using my money to enjoy myself!

It doesn't sound like you are greedy. We are supposed to strive to have the necessities of life which includes healthy food. What we don't need is extra stuff like too many clothes, too many trinkets to decorate your home, too many extras when we buy a car, or a fancy car. We are supposed to buy quality merchandise that will last....not every new gadget that comes out on the market.
So, if you feel bad inside about selling people goods they don't really need, you should look for another career. But remember you do need to do some kind of work to live.

If you can get a better job, do it. That's not greed. That's intelligence. It's what you DO with the money that counts.
Retail sucks.

There's nothing wrong with having a well paying job.
It is only the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, therefore, there is nothing wrong with having it but just don't put it above everything else.

Get the job and decide what to do with the money later.

Get a job, man. It's bad to be lazy. Work really hard and try to be at least a millionaire.

The apostle Paul said this to God once,"Lord dont leave me without so that I will have to steal and don't give me to much so that I will forget about you".

You have mental and/or religious problems. Greed is not achieving adequacy.
