Weird medium-is-message effect: I can only take money as seriously as the work I do to earn it. This means if I want to be more serious with spending/saving/investment, I have to earn it in more serious ways. Anybody else experience this?

what's that distinction in your mind? is investment returns receiving or earning?

it's a reversal thing. The value of effort is quantified by money, but value of money is also quantified by the effort that goes into acquiring it.
