A comparison
To make a ton of money
NR: To make a ton of money with specific reasons and defined dreams to chase,timelines and steps included. What are you working for?
To have more
NR: TO have more quality and less clutter. To have huge financial reserves but recognize that most material wants are justifications for spending time on the things that don't really matter, including buying things and preparing to buy things. You spent two weeks negotiating your new Infiniti with the dealership and got $10,000 off? That is great. Does your life have a purpose? Are you contributing anything useful to this world,or just shuffing papers, banging on a keyboard, and coming home to a drunken existence on the weekends?
To think big but ensure payday comes everyday: cash flow first, big payday second.
To have freedom from doing that which you dislike, but also the freedom and resolve to pursue your dreams without reverting to work for work. After years of repetitive work, you will often need to dig hard to find your passions, redefine your dreams, and revive hobbies that you let atrophy to near extinction. The goal is not to simply eliminate the bad, which does nothing more than leave you with a vacuum, but to pursue and experience the best in the world.
