Having an actual income can expand your romantic horizons toward the more appealing end of the spectrum.

These days an income is something you can't live without - or within.

There may be the kinds of things that you may find interesting, but then there's also the practical reality of needing to make a living and this is what you have to choose from.

Unless you are completely retired, earning money is the best form of wealth preservation.

There is nothing more exciting than having a life devoted to fundamental knowledge and to contributing to advance the borders of knowledge.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

We package everything as a product so we can derive income from it. Then we can occupy ourselves with higher-order psychological lifestyle things. This is a very new issue. Money still matters, but other factors have joined the status game - like how interesting, how meaningful your work is.
