It's never wrong to have money.
Except possibly if you happen to get robbed ...
Money enables you to survive.
More importantly, you can buy stuff for any money you've got left when you're done surviving.
Money makes the world go "Huff-huff, huff-huff WAAAH-WAAAH! Huff-huff, huff-huff, WAAAH-WAAAH!".
Isn't money a pretty screwed idea when you think about it? I mean, how did someone come up with the idea in the first place? Okay, okay I can see how they did it, but I was trying to be funny or deep or something there. I always see too many arguments against statements like that to be able to make them with any devotion.
(Pauses. Takes deep breath.)
Right ...
Where was I? Oh yes! The trouble with money is that you have to make it flow into your possession to be able to spend it. No matter how hard I've tried, I've never been able to wish myself rich. That's where the concept of work comes into my life (subtly shifts into wiser-than-thou-and-about-to-give-you-a-lecture-on-how-life-is-pose). If you get paid for it and it's not fun you know it's work. It might be fun of course, which is great, but if it's proper work you'll be doing it a lot more than you would if you weren't getting paid to do it.
So far in my life I haven't exactly been hunting for work. You might even say I haven't been looking at all for it, even at times when I would have liked more money. It's just felt like, well, too much work when I was younger and still living at home. I got by (under increasing nagging from parents of course), was very good at not spending any money and had a lot of free time. I like free time, and the idea of working during summers, instead of spending them relaxing, just didn't appeal to me that much. And besides, I didn't want to have any job if I was to work either, I at least wanted something moderately interesting.
