greedy with

Hi

Since you can say 'stingy with money' can you say 'greedy with money'?
or is it 'greedy about money'?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply ,but according to Collins English Dictionary it means "keenly desirous; eager (for)" as in

"a man greedy for success"

I wonder if I can say

"He is greedy with his money."

to mean

"He is stingy with his money."
