Or are there other incentives to be productive/creative?

Money and self esteem. One needs to have a purpose in life.

Yes I don't work for free, it's all about $$$...

Charity and helping out friends is different, it's voluntary....

I've been slowly renovating a new home (new to me) for the last three years because I enjoy it,the incentive is knowing the job was done right and getting exactly what I want. It's not paying the bills is it? Matter of fact at the pace I'm going if I was doing this for a living I'd go broke.

I can do this because have income from other work which is required to pay my bills and provide me funding for the renovation.

In conclusion the answer to your question is yes and no.

Money is a requirement to keep people working, only. Motivation on the job comes from a sense of accomplishment and identity with the product, sharing in the creative process.

No it's not the only incentive but I do have a young family to take care of so I so factor it in greatly.

Money is no incentive at all. It is purely a requirement for the possibility that actual incentive can be provided.
