Does being spiritual and being a filthy rich go in hand in hand? Is it Possiable to very rich and be spirtual at the same time? Every one has the notion that all rich people are greedy and selfish. LIke (scrooge)
Is it possiable to be absorved in simran and continue to make millons?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Siri Guru does not tell us to live in poverty. Siri Guru says don't run after riches at the EXPENSE of your soul, your spirit, your mind. Siri Guru says don't be attached to riches. Don't forget the Naam of the One who provides such riches in the first place. In fact, Siri Guru says that the one who is devoted to the Name has all his affairs arranged, and is provided with all he needs. So it is quite possible to be filthy rich and keep the Naam. It is all how one goes about it (karma plays a role too).
Guru rakha,
