Most of us here don't try to acquire money because of the girls it will get us, the reputation it will bring with it, or the way it makes us feel. Most of us here want it because of freedom. That nice house you want? Money will get you it. What if someone gets sick in your family and insurance doesn't cover them? Money. You don't wanna be at work all day, need to pay the bills and want to spend time with your kids - money.
I don't understand why people think that everyone in life is free. Granted, if you are miserable without money, you'll probably be miserable with it. One of the best lessons I've learned is that you should just STFU and be happy in the moment. Appreciate what you have now, always be smiling! But don't settle, sure- go ahead! Try and reach those goals you want!
I understand working at a "normal" job if that makes you happy. But if it makes you happy, it doesn't matter what if pays, or the hours you work, the job isn't so normal after all.
Anyway, I am just trying to understand what the love of money is. Like, sure... I love cars. I don't love them because of the reputation, or because of how I could brag about which ones I own, but because I love the way they look, sound, and feel... but sometimes the only way to acquire that is with money!
