Of course I do. We think money is nice because it could buy us things we think we need to be successful or to be happy, but that isn't the case at all. To an extent it doesn't really matter how much money you have you could be completely unsuccessful in life. In today's culture it is preached that if you want to be able to find something with a little more intrinsic value you've gotta make money (and everything that goes along with that). It isn't surprising people seek out ways to make money hoping that after it is all over, when they have the money they need, they can then do what they want. Usually it is a very misguided belief.

For me I know I said a car meant success, but if I'm being honest success to me is love. To be loved, or to love another is success.

what a transition ahaha. I have to say I enjoy the latter.

And unless there is a sudden revolution induced by the proletariat, I don't think we can get away with only being able to follow our dreams. Money in todays world is unfortunately a requirement.
