Nobody is motivated by money.
The poor are motivated to be able to afford food they need money for this they are motivated by the need to eat money is simply a means to an ends.
The middle class are motivated by comfort and ironically will work very hard to achieve this. Once again money is the means to this ends.
The rich are motivated by power and influence and will do anything to achieve this. Again money is the means not the ends.
To not be motivated by money one must become the Buddha. To not want money one must want for nothing that money can purchase but by its very definition it can purchase anything. So one must want for nothing and thus have achieved nirvana. I doubt someone who has achieved nirvana would find themselves working a dead end job.







Thx for the info my understanding of the philosophy is relatively surface level. If you have any books u would recommend I read to understand I’d appreciate a recommendation. I’m not looking to convert just interested in the philosophy and ideas. Would especially appreciate something that integrates will with Albert Camus absurdism. I would prefer a translation of something old as I find in many places contemporary works take existing knowledge as a given and also tend to soften the messages that the foundational texts where based on.
