Principe,
But I'll tell you what I perceive the problem is. People who love money and people who don't are so different that there is little hope they will understand each other. My mother, for example, cannot stop working, even though she is very stressed out by her duties and never takes time to take care of herself. Her work is more important to her than her health by far. She is getting close to that age when she will have to spend all her accrued wealth on hospital bills -- good health insurance policies are hard to get here. I don't get why she does it, just like she doesn't get why I'd rather spend all day playing on the internet than working in an office for somebody else and fighting traffic back and forth.
Perhaps I feel attacked too quickly, but I'm sensing a few 'better than you' assumptions here. I feel that there is the assumption that I's take on any job for any pay, and that I am off worse for having a certain demand as to what I have to earn each month.My intention was not to attack you. But I feel attacked all the time by family and friends, who think I'm inferior because I'm not trying to pursue money. A man that I went out with told me that I wasn't "ambitious enough", because I could be making much more money. I get put down all the time because I'm not willing to build an empire.
