Why would you want it? I'd suggest if having more money doesn't motivate you then the difference between your life now and this hypothetical life you might have isn't that great. Lots of people are motivated to make money for different reasons, some good, some bad but if you're not one of them you're better off focusing on the things that do make you happy.

I have no idea how my life would look if I had this hunger. Maybe it would be better? I just feel I'm missing on something. I have high iq, about 10 years of commercial experience in coding, nearly 20 years of personal experience in coding so I feel I'm fairly well prepared to make some money. What I lack is constant motivator. Money works as such for a lot of people. Hence my question: How do you get hunger for money? Is that something you have to be born with? Is that something you have to be raised to feel? Do you have to hit the rock bottom and feel actual hunger to get this money hunger?

  Most people I know who have it have it because at some point in their lives they were without money. If you're smart and you've been working in IT for 10 years then I'm guessing you're financially doing fine. Maybe not super rich but well above national average and you probably don't want for much. I'm sure you could live somewhere nicer and have nicer stuff but would that really make you happier. Your problem is summarise by five words "maybe it would be better". We're motivated to do things that we believe will improve our lives in some way. Why would you expect to be motivated by something you're unclear on. If anything it sounds to me as if you're a little bit aimless and if there's any dissatisfaction in your life it's probably that. Better to work out what you want than just pick something and go "lots of people seem to want this, maybe that's what I want".
