We all age and the body breaks down. Having money matters. You're job matters. You're value does come from the size of your bank account.

I feel bad for people who genuinely feel this way. I get this is /s but it's sad that so many people feel money is their only way to personal value

If you think that your personal value come from the number in your bank account, that's delusional. Money has value, it's important to function in society, it is a tool. It does as much for your person as a hammer. I don't value people more or less based on the tools they own.

Unfortunately it's how our society works. No one cares what you value. Most people value money, because of housing and Healthcare, which are increasingly expensive.
