avoiding looking in the mirror and seeing what we need to change in ourselves
It's probably because this is uncomfortable and as we all know discomfort is to be avoided at all costs XD I have known people like this and they seem to very much have an attitude of why should they have to change.
If someone wanted to give me everything I needed to be contented, what I need is time and to get more time I need J to retire so what I actually need is enough money for J to retire while maintaining our lifestyle so he can homeschool the kids (and I'd totally go on excursions with them because J can drive longer than me and also doesn't have driving anxiety unlike some people so we would go to some epic places). That would be awesome as then I might actually be able to get some sleep so I can work better XD
The job is meaningless for her, but she also knows that her grandparents like to have the area pinecone free
That appears to make it meaningful?
Money plays such an incredibly stupid part in our lives - it is a trap - work for less than it is worth so that those we work for can get more than they need, never have enough to do what we could do without money...
For her it is meaningful. She likes helping them do stuff, she likes being involved in their processes.
So she’s derived meaning from it, kids are smarter than most adults 😆
Money is useful as a trading tool. Other people’s obsession with accumulating as much as possible by any means possible is irksome 🙄
