For me money brings me choices. I get more choices when I have more money. I don't have to jump when my boss says how high when I don't have to worry that he controls my ability to survive paycheck to paycheck. I can say, "L:et me think about it and I'll get back to you." I don't live in fear of not paying my bills.
I didn't upgrade my life as my salary got upgraded. I drive 7 year old Neon with 35,000 miles on it.
But when the time comes to do things that I want to do, I do them without thinking too much about how much it costs because I gave myself the opportunity of choices.
Just like Jazz, I can decide better what to do about retirement, I don't think that I'm going to retire early, but I do believe that I will also have choices where I won't have to rely on government medicaid and social security programs.
money is my pursuit of choices and options.
