I'm saying worrying about how you spend your time rather than your money.
Zuckerberg is a good example. While he could easily sell off Facebook and take a personal fortune worth a small country, he's choosing to stay in the game and devote time to his product, wanting to keep the integrity of his product in tact.
Obviously not everybody is a Zuckerberg, but it is about how you spend your time. Young professionals are increasingly moving away from the 9-5 corporate schedule and redefining the workspace and life preferences, blending home and work. Finding ways to be efficient so that there is more free time on a regular basis is a growing trend among Gen X and Y'ers, although many have difficulty finding that balance (ex. young lawyers, investment bankers, and others who have high-demanding jobs).
Bonues are nice, don't get me wrong and money is important, but there's definitely a significant number of people who just don't place the same credence in monetary wealth as free time.
