Would day dreaming about having millions like someone else be considered covertness? Even daydreaming of doing good things...sending out missionaries, building churches, feeding the poor etc..if your imagining what you could do with someone else’s resources (money) is just fantasying coveting too?

It could be if you're just daydreaming for your own self-aggrandizement and not thinking about glorifying and pleasing God. I wouldn't worry about it too much though as it could also be a way that God is showing you things that He wants you to do with your life. Repent of the things that you think are sins and then ask God to show you what He wants.
Also, don't beat your self up just because you're human. Everybody daydreams about things they'd like to do.

Not really, because what you're doing is not wanting someone else's things, but wanting the same things they have. For example, it is not covetousness to see someone in a 2007 Corvette and say, "Man I got to get me one of those!" It WOULD be covetous to say, "Man, I wish I had that!" If wanting to have the same things everyone else has is wrong, then where's the sense in wanting a family, or a happy marriage, or anything for that matter? No, it's wanting the thing that someone else has that is covetous, not wanting a similar, or even identical, one.

Your last sentence, yes. Imagine what you could do as, and with you and what you have to work with. Forget other's resources and remember the commandment against coveting: it creates neg. desire and a feeling of lacking.

yes, it is a horrible sin and you will probably spend eternity in a bad place!!! no matter what you would do with what you covet its evil to covet and it will lead you to crime to get what you want. be humble and you will be saved but its already to late for you.

Daydreaming is fine in moderation. Sometimes we find answers or direction when we daydream.

coveting is wanting something that belongs to a specific person, so no your not coveting

Jesus says, looking at a woman and lusting over her (in ur mind of-cos) is sinning. not just actually commiting adultery but by just imagining is sinning. this is bcos God noes whats on our mind....

No harm can come from day dreaming, it's perfectly fine.
Day dreaming has nothing to do with religion.
