Secular Humanist believe in what can be seen. So they would do what Christians would do with Money. As a Christian, one would (or should) pay tithes (10 percent of one's earnings) to the Lord's storehouse (synonymous with the church today).

There is nothing inherently wrong with money. As a matter of fact, devout Christians understand that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). So Christians do not love money, but rather use it in its proper place.

Yes, The question "what you do with the money after you get it" is a great one. Secular humanist may give to the poor, feed the hungry, give money to charities, but if these things are done without love (God), then it is all for naught.

It is true that each person as to take care of their family, but we have to take care of God's house before anything else, even saving some for retirement. Also, we should enjoy our lives with the money we earn and kept after doing the proper things with it.

Secular humanism does not, by its very nature, have an established position on "money and career". SH is simply the philosophical position that there is no preternatural meaning, purpose or power in the world and as such humans must find their moral paths as individuals. So if you, as an individual, find money and a good career to be a goal worth pursuing, it is your prerogative to do so. If you do not, you are free to explore and find what you think will make you happiest in life.

How do secular humanism view money?

It is important to note that a person that holds a secular humanists viewpoint does not retain any specific opinion regarding wealth, however, it is sometimes incorrectly argued that humanists may be less inclined to share their wealth. Generally, secular humanists see money in much the same way as a person of faith. It would be fair to say that secular humanists are no more attracted to an extrinsic lifestyle when compared with other schools of thought. There is no evidence, for example, that a secular humanist would be less likely to use his or her wealth to support the work of charities; In fact there are many secular organisations which do just that.
