How motivated are you by money?
How much wealth do you want?
How hard do you want to work?
I don't need money by itself, but there are some things I couldn't do without and I need money to obtain them. For instance, I am a poly-drug addict and I need to be high 24/7 or else I'll start to get really anxious. I would like enough money to pay my rent, to buy enough groceries, and to keep a decent habit going, with a wide range of drugs. I try to cycle through different classes of drugs so I don't develop a huge tolerance, so I'm not worried about my problem getting to dangerous levels that I can't afford.
How much would I be willing to work? I'm not sure. I've held part-time jobs and they're not so bad. I'd like to have a job where I could browse the internet all day, because I like to study a lot of disparate things, from rocket science to pharmacology to group theory.
I guess my ideal job would be as a scientist or professor, so I could study these things as my living. I know you probably have preconceptions about me because I'm an addict, but I have quite a history with scientific research and I've gone abroad a couple times to study materials science at European universities. While I was there, I invented a new nanowire material. I fell in love with that material, I kept finding cool new properties of it. I was really happy in Europe. It's my dream to move there one day and be a scholar, taking stimulants every day just like Paul Erdos.
I probably didn't answer your question well, but I'm tweaking right now and my answers aren't gonna be brief or relevant.

Enough to give my time for it.
Enough to not have to worry about it.
As hard as the situation requires it.
The only reason I'm alive is because I want to have a good amount of money

Like seriously this is the only goal I have, nothing else matters
>>26399439
enough money to live relatively comfortably is all I need
Not at all
But all my friends and family make money out to be the most important thing in the world, so it rubs off on me and makes me feel like a failure when im not constantly in the rat race
Not at all actually.
Living minimalist and at a lower level of stress is far more important to me.

not much
slightly more than the minimum of survival: I'm willing to eat the cheapest foods available in a repetitive way (so long as I maintain half-decent health), live in cramped spaces, have shit clothes, furniture, technology, etc.
it's not so much a question of how hard I want to work as how much time I want to spend working, and the answer is as little as possible
