One perspective is that money is just fuel that can (perhaps) help you get where you're going. Where do you want to go?
If you haven't, maybe set some big picture long term goals. What do you want your life to be like in e.g. 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 years? How do you want to be spending your time? Do any of those goals have financial requirements or influence what you would spend money on?

Maybe you're in a situation where you have an abundance of cash but a shortage of large blocks of free time. Do you have any opportunities to exchange cash for time? Does your employer offer unpaid leave? Can you change your job for one that doesn't generate as much cash but let's you do what you want 2 months per year?

Questions like "who do I want to be", "what do I want to do", and "how do I want to be remembered" are hard ones, but if you take the time to figure out your answers (which, by the way, can change over time), you'll find ways to spend your money and time.
