But that has also killed motivation to do better financially. Taking care of cash flow/savings needs one quarter at a time feels like taking care of physical health. Minimize-effort activity rather than maximize-outcome activity. This is probably a bad thing.

The idea that paychecks are like cocaine and free agency income is somehow “smarter” money, which I bought into initially, is bs. Money is never smarter than attention you pay to it, no matter how you make it. If you’re apathetic to joys of money mindedness it’s all cocaine.

Basically while I’d like more money (who wouldn’t) I’d have to care more about it to make more of it. This will probably bite me in the ass at some point. Kids, learn to care about 50% more about money than you think you should.

Moral of the story: How much you learn about (and make) money is a function of how much you can make yourself care about it. I’m no wiser about money than 7 years ago because I haven’t learned to care more about it. I make about the same. I just enjoy and choose the work more.

Shit yeah. Once I have enough panic money my interest in more money steeply declines. Have lately drawn up “you must save(earn) THIS much per year” plan. I am set to hit that in a few weeks at which point my interest falls off a cliff. Awkward when in middle of contract...
