We are all attached to money and material things. If you think you are not, I think you are in Maya.
If you still think you are not in Maya, please correct me.
Since you say that you are not attached to material things, then, I suggest you make an estimate of what you are worth and give half to the local temple so it can be used in Krishna's service right away.
In reality everything belongs to Krishna.

Because we are attached to money and material thing, due to Maya, we think that the material things are our own. This is considered stealing from Krishna. We delude ourselves to thinking that we are great devotees, when in reality we are nothing short of thieves.
HareKrishna,
It is not at all wrong to be attached to some one based on spiritual relation or related thing but when person becomes "emotionally attached to others early" and get disturbed that is not good sign.
There is nothing wrong to even make friends, talk and share etc. But one must learn how to practice detachment from these worldly things in a very practical way is a ART OF LIVING. To learn this ART OF LIVING i do recommend you to read following articles and i m sure, after carefully reading, thinking on it and by practicing into your daily life, you will never have this question again because it is coming from the lotus mouth of a perfect person His Holiness Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj (left his body last year at the age of 91)
