Namaskar,
Ananda Marga ideology says, “जानते हो, धन अर्थात् लक्ष्मी का हमेशा pact रहता है पाप के साथ | जहाँ पाप की पङ्किलता वहीं है लक्ष्मी | जहाँ साधुता है, शुभबुद्धि है, वहाँ लक्ष्मी नहीं रहती है | इसलिए, साधक को हमेशा {याद} यह बात याद रखनी है—कि ग़रीबी, उनकी साधुता की द्योतक है | [बाबा, बाबा, बाबा !] धन-दौलत अधिक आ जाने से सतर्क होना चाहिए | क्यों ? न, “लक्ष्मी क्यों आ रही है ? तब तो क्या, मुझमें पाप घुस गया है ? लक्ष्मी का आगमन क्यों हो रहा है |” (1)

Here below is an English summary of Baba’s above Hindi teaching:
Ac Simple ji is a very senior Acarya. His two Bahu (daughters-in-law) lead a western life. They are members of a ladies group of non-margiis (millionaire). Their group every month arranges "Kitty party" and dances on western music till midnight 1 am or more late. Sometimes these ladies visit jointly Goa, etc cities without their husbands. Ac Simple ji's eldest son Mr. Meditator's wife is from non margii family. She enjoys all types of non-margii lifestyle of millionaire. They have only one kid.

Mr. Meditator fully supports his wife. Mr. Meditator and his wife are very egoistic and have vanity that they are crore pati (millionaire). They mostly do not attend DC, kiirtan, any AM programme. When Ac. Simple’ji visits them in the big metropolis, then Mr. Meditator & the other son Mr. Intellect attend at least one DC, just to show their father Ac Simple ji.
In the past Ac Simple ji 2nd son Mr. Intellect invited all for Griha Pravesh of their new but altra costly flat (home). Few years back Ac Simple’s 1st son Mr. Meditator invited all for Griha Pravesh for their new costly house.
After seeing lifestyle of eldest daughter in law, 2nd son Mr. Intellect's wife also joined some other non-margii kitty party group. In competition, she also enjoys the same western lifestyle. Mr. Intellect's wife is the daughter of Ac Moon’ ji of Ranchi.
My understanding is that Ac Simple ji spent entire life in poverty but sincerely worked for Ananda Marga. After 1991, AMPS helped his family and got the two sons admitted in Engineering and MBA courses. Both sons got good jobs and became rich. And then lifestyle changed. Either Ac Simple ji might have wished for rich lives for his sons, or his sons might have wished for rich lifestyle. Parama Puruśa Baba fulfilled their wishes and walked out of their houses.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Where there is over-accumulation of physical wealth several problems occur. Human beings do not have many needs. Primarily they need satisfying meals and clothing, according to their necessities. Most people do not even want many things.” (3)
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The desire to accumulate money is actually a mental disease. The accumulators of [wealth] do not accumulate to fulfil their basic needs a human needs are few…where there is over-accumulation [wealth] people tend to misutilize wealth by indulging in their baser propensities rather than their finer ones. Therefore you will mark, as I am making it crystal-clear to you, that…most of the aristocrats and wealthy people of today who have nothing to do are generally wicked and mean-minded...When we have to judge, we must be frank.” (4)
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Over-accumulated physical [wealth]...is the second cause for becoming a sinner. I have already discussed the problems of the “have's” [wealthy], and the “have-nots” [poor]. To satisfy the greed of the have's [wealthy], the have-not's [poor] become slaves, and to appease their own hunger they [the poor] become sinners. The have's mis-utilize the intellectual and physical wealth of the have-not's to satisfy their [wealthy] baser propensities. In the background sit the big capitalists; in the foreground, as their agents, are half-naked children! This is the cause of the downfall of society.” (5)

Here below is an English summary of Baba’s above Hindi teaching:
Do you know that there is a pact between wealth and sin. Wherever there is the gunk of sin, immediately the goddess of wealth wants to live there. In contrast, wherever honesty and simplicity and pure intellect, the goddess of wealth walks away. So every spiritual aspirant should remember poverty is the sign of sadhuta (sadhu-ness).Margii family degeneration due to wealth: Case study
If you get a lot of wealth you should be concerned and alert, and ask yourself, “Why is the goddess of wealth coming and sheltering here? Am I committing some type of sin? Why is Laksmii coming here in my dwelling?” (2)
