I totally understand this, and I think the same way.

I don't think in terms of wanting more money, though I am open to abundance of all kinds...and all the great things that money can buy. I have lived very well and had much of what I wanted come to me without money being a factor at all.

The only reason I would want money at the moment, is to publish the children's book I have written and illustrated in order to have complete creative control without bossy publishers changing the story to their liking.

I'd be waiting tables for a long time to be able to pay for publishing...which costs around $30,000. I've put it out there to the universe, and it is taking it's sweet time

I do think that for most people instead of money, a more awesome goal is what they want to do with that money. I know it is for me...

Same with a house.. I'd love a bigger house, but why? Because I could have more friends over, more family staying over etc. So what do I really want? A richer social life. And even that I could break down into more awesomeness, if I wanted to (more connections, feeling connected, being more present etc.)
