What does money mean to you?
Groucho Marx had this to say: “Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.”
The flip side to this is that money can make it easier to focus on the things you do enjoy. Having enough money can free up your time and energy. For me, I think that having enough money equates to feeling safer.

I definitely equate money to freedom for my time. If I wasn’t in debt like I am now, I definitely wouldn’t be working my current day job. I could make enough money on a more casual freelance schedule and have more flexible time to enjoy.
I burn a lot of time commuting because I *need* to go to work and I really want to get those hours of my life back.

For me, money means that I don’t need to worry about the future. I would still work even if I had enough money to retire, but I would find a job that I really enjoy, rather than one that pays the bills and allows me to save more.
