Money is worth it but if you are chasing only money (especially get rich quick like gambling) which OP seems like doing, you will mostly fail. Getting Rich is a great motivation but cannot be the ONLY motivation behind you to do things. It may work for some but you need more intrinsic motives and goals in life. Source: I am not a wageslaver and I am in top 10% of Income earners in America and I am telling that you cannot just chase money. Chase your dreams of doing something that you want to do and money is always the side effect. OP seems to be focussed on the wrong thing.

> I am telling that you cannot just chase money. Chase your dreams of doing something that you want to do and money is always the side effect. OP seems to be focussed on the wrong thing. You also cannot just chase your dreams. Many people have tried and failed miserably. You need money in order to be able to chase your dreams. I see your point, but both sides are kind of extreme - both the "money is meaningless" and "money is everything" - neither are true. Money is a necessary means for chasing your dreams, but an insufficient end in itself.

>you cannot just chase money. Chase your dreams of doing something that you want to do and money is always the side effect. I enjoy waking up late, quiet enjoyment of nature, listening to music, and unstructured enjoyment of various hobbies. Unfortunately, none of those are particularly lucrative activities. So I'm forced to chase money by doing things I don't enjoy.
