Then pick another one. Again, you have to make choices and follow through.

No. You haven't fully understood what I've been telling you. It doesn't have to be about money; I only used that as an example. If you want to work for a nonprofit for a cause you care about and just earn a modest salary, then go to it. Either way, you're providing a service and you're getting something out of it (a living and the satisfaction of doing something good that you truly believe in).
If you're sick with materialism and capitalism, blah, blah, blah, then do something about it. Come up with your worthy ideal that isn't about getting stuff. Don't take one or two of my examples and think that's all there is.
When the time comes, you will be able to sit down and really think about what you want. When you decide what that is, go for it.
