1. Money primarily allows (or would allow) me to:

not worry
buy things and experiences that I enjoy
create freedom for other pursuits (i.e. creative, spiritual, political, philanthropic)
have an ever-growing sense of security and abundance
have a sense of importance and recognition from family, friends, and society at large
have faith that things will always work out for the best in the end
take care of others, sometimes at my own expense
put time and money into something that makes a lasting impact (e.g. my business)
