Money (and more to the point, economic productivity) is what drives quality of life. It's vastly important.

When you leave your house to go to work, you risk death. Car crash, or something. Yes there's a chance of catastrophe but you take action to mitigate the risk, because going to work is what allows you to pay for your lifestyle.
