Money is a means to an end for me. If I work to feed my family, but work so much that I lose my family, I've lost. I work so that I have money to live and give.

If work gets in the way of living and giving, I'm doing it wrong. How many rich people do we know who clearly aren't happy? When I see an asshole, I know their life lacks joy. The assholes with money have put the means ahead of the ends, so they end up with cash and a bad mood. I'll take joyful work at $15 / hour over feeling like a jackass loser making $75 / hour any day.

So wussy is work about? Joyfully living and giving. Money is just a tool used for living and giving. Part of that joy might be keeping score in the game, but games are supposed to be fun. If you're so obsessed with winning that you miss enjoying the game, you're lost.
