Money provides safety (in some life areas), potentially freedom, and most important to me, OPTIONS. Options in how to live materially, where to go. Even being able to have a lot of adopted pets. It's important to me to give nice amounts to charities that I care about
As I get older (senior citizen stuff) I am happy to be able to hire out for things I cannot do or don't want to do. Hiring services when you need them (lawyer, accountant, etc.).
It just gives me the power of choice in so many ways. I could also choose to make less money if that became important to me. It's not black or white, but in general, more money=more choices and I am OK with selling my time for money.
Yep.
Don't really care so much about "stuff" (although I like good food and travel)
Keeping my bills low + reasonable income = freedom to me.
I don't want to spend my life working so I can buy more things. I want to enjoy my kids while they are young and spend my time doing what I like to do. We have enough to maintain a comfortable lifestyle with a few extras, and I'm able to save and plan for the future.

I hate to break it to you.....but,
you are just as money motivated as everyone else.
Money provides basic needs and then some for my wife and I currently. It also provides the function to fund things we enjoy and is building the wealth that would be needed to allow us to stop working and enjoy our hobbies full time
