No, please, be blunt. This is all honest. Let me put it this way. In my 20s, I was 100% money driven. In my 30s, probably 75%, now in my 40s, about 50%. I'm not saying I want to feed starving children in Africa. That'd be a good thing, but my thing is different. I get offers, not a ton, but some, that are for more money, but I'd have to give up things I care about more. Time with my family, doing what I love to do, working with people I might not want to work with, etc. Everyone has these.

So now why is this a thing and not just me-- If you look at millennials, they're nowhere near as money driven as my generation or the one before mine. I've seen it time and again. It's not black and white -- there are some that are mercs, and the ones that aren't are not 100% saints, but the mean is shifting away from money.

Thanks for the feedback.
