True but there is a large stigma within society that money is the most important thing even over doing what you love.
I remeber around the time when I graduated from high school how many people I talked to (usually considerably older than me) told me, "pick a job and start earning as soon as you can, and then start saving for retirement." Their attitude was that between 18 and 64 was the boring lead up to the exciting age of 65 when I could relish in all my boring unfilling work of the past 46 years. Needless to say I didn't follow their advice.
