[quote=Anonymous]Such an interesting topic, OP!

Having grown up in a house where everything was trying to figure out how to pay the bills, I find great comfort in being able to not have debt and to buy a $9 bottle of lotion at Walmart instead of the $1.98 bottle for my dry skin. Weird example, but I am happiest when I feel monetarily safe in day to day living. Which means to feel safe, I have to earn and save.

Over the years that has grown to feeling happiness at being able to buy nice sheets, or a piece of art, or nice coffee and a coffee machine.

So mine would be save money to have a gracious daily living experience to feel safe. But this also includes the "experience: of being able to host a lovely (this doesn't mean fancy) dinner for extended family and friends.

I want to be able to enjoy the moments of being surrounded by family and friends without the stress of how to pay my monthly bills.

Next would be "things" beyond a $9 bottle of lotion. Such as a nice home and car, nice clothes for my kids, for me. I have a lovely wedding ring.

And I do want to leave wealth behind.

After that are the bigger experiences like travel. I've done a decent amount, but I don't live to travel.

I make money to live securely, and if something happens I have the ability to pay to fix it or live as easily as possible with it. [/quote]
