Rallying around ideals never really works out because every person has a different interpretation of that ideal. Rallying around specific things allow you to keep honest conversation open as there’s less chance of “exposing” yourself to others.
Money is a terrible thing to rally around but often times it’s the only thing to rally around effectively. Optimizing for money you’re not sure how to spend is like optimizing to be a fat person by anxiety eating.
