Would like to clarify where you get the notion: "When MONEY_OWED is used, it suggests that you are the one owing the money,"
"Money owed to me" suggests money we are owed while "Money owed to others" suggests money we owe. Therefore MONEY_OWED is not a loaded term.
However, we do acknowledge that term used can be clearer, like your suggested term "amount", as well as your concern on double negatives. We however believe that this discussion on semantics is both subjective and based on language, which is out of scope.

- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Description
When MONEY_OWED is used, it suggests that you are the one owing the money, also the fact that you are using negative owing to suggest someone owing you, there is an introduction of double negatives which can be confusing to users.
Fix
You could consider changing it to
AMOUNT, which is neutral and does not interfere with the interpretation of the values under the$/tag.
