So many people these days "protect" their finances out of fear, not recognizing that money isn't the meaning of life...
I would love to agree this, but I don't think so people are thinking money is not the meaning of life, at least in my country. So many people have got poorer for a year due to the inflation. For ayears, everybody complain about unreasonable prices.
Money affects everything we pretty much do - nothing is free. So, it essentially has to be considered as meaningful for life, which means making a life where there is enough of it to provide other meanings.
