Money has always had a peculiar attraction for me. As an early seeker, I used to worry about it. And then, later, I understood the basic difference between 'attraction' and 'attachment'. Attraction happens because of the programming in the body mind organism - genes and conditioning - over which the ego has no control at all. Attachment is wholly a matter of the ego and its involvement.
I have had the sneaky suspicion that my attraction for money is based on the fact that as a school student I had no 'pocket money'. There never was a shortage, but it was given only for a specific purpose. It was when I joined college that I had some money of my own - merely the monthly amount of scholarship. Although this is just speculation, the fact of the matter is that attraction in itself need not be a worry for the spiritual seeker.
