Greed is greed, which is also a sin. Gluttony specifically refers to food. You're just lying at this point, intentionally or not, you're spreading misinformation.

There are 5 specific types of gluttony, and none of them involve wealth hoarding.

Laute - This is eating costly and luxurious foods when a sandwich would tide you over. It's one thing to have a fine meal every once in a while, but it's a bit much if it's every night. The extra money spent on the finest foods your palate desires could go towards feeding someone who has nothing.

Studiose - Eating too daintily, which means you're an excessively picky eater who wastes great energy on meal preparation or pursuing delicacies. Energy that'd be more wisely used elsewhere.

Nimis - This is what people typically think of when it comes to gluttony. These are those who eat beyond the point of satiety and fullness.

Praepropere - These are those who eat at the improper time or too soon after eating an earlier meal.

Ardenter - Those who eat too eagerly and derive all of life's satisfaction from their eating experiences. I take this one too mean when they are ready to eat, eating is all they can think about.

Please stop making shit up. If you don't understand what a word means, it's ok to do some research or even just keep your mouth shut to avoid spreading misinformation.

If you've got no idea what you're talking about, it's ok to not talk.
