For me money is an indicator of my personal productivity. The fact that I am still poor means I am worthless. I went broke a few years ago. Any other objective of live to me as a man is secondary, even though the money itself does not really matter. My day to day life is the same when I am broke or not. I find that anything I do is about being more successful and money is the best indicator for it.
I wonder how I would feel if I just had money.
