I'd say the majority of people I know make building wealth a priority in their lives but I personally couldn't care less how many figures I make as long as I can sustain my relatively minimalist lifestyle. people get defensive for some reason when I tell them I don't care about money as long as I'm past the point of being poor/struggling

I'm in the same boat as you, but I guess it's because it's seen as unambitious, that you're lazy. Nobody wants that to be assumed of them, so they default to the most common ambition. Then the rest simply want to improve their (plus families) lives as much as possible.

I feel kinda the same way kinda opposite.

I want to invest in the future so to speak (meaning retirement, Baby DevsBro's college, new house, etc) but don't have much drive for status symbols, giant TVs or cars I can't afford.

Yeah, I don't care about money outside of keeping the stuff I have now. Im like a modern day hippy. I just want to laugh and love through life while never taking things too serious. I pull my own weight when around others cause I put pride in that. Plus no one wants to laugh and love with a guy that isn't pulling his weight

I care about money in the sense that I want to one day in the near future not have to worry about money and can essentially do whatever I want to within reason.
