Humanism is so diverse as to make answering the question, as asked, impossible. Many humanist were staunch Catholics. In modern times, humanism has been confused with secularism and been used as a by-word for anti-theistic belief. The Church's teaching has not changed, but what people call humanist has. You would have to ask a more specific question.

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.
