Is money really the root of all evil?

Its there, its paper and its green. money. some people have very little and some people are loaded. but, what about those people that “sponge” off their parents? i am talking about little Johnny that gets into debt and relys on his parents to bail him out, time after time. sooner or later, at retirement time, his parents are going to find themselves “cash poor” because of coming to the aid of little Johnny, so many times. it makes little Johnny dependent on his parents each time and drains the resources of his parents. why do some children do this and others do not? is this process an addiction, just like drugs? or, is money truly the root of all evil?
