How important is financial security to you?

Got into an argument with someone over this so now I'm just curious what people think.

For my self or a partner?

It's important to give me some peace of mind. I don't need a lot of money or expensive things but I do like to avoid the anxiety of financial worries.

@JimboSaturn As long as you need money, you will have financial worries. Peace of mind is only attainable if you don't need money.

@sree251 If I have enough to pay my bills and eat fairly decently, I'm good.

@JimboSaturn Having to pay bills implies living within the grid. It's a zero sum game. Never enough money to go around. If you have enough, even just barely enough to get by, someone else won't make it and suffers the anxiety of financial worries till he bites the dust.

@sree251 It is unrealistic to think that you can have everything you desire. Our species and living things in general share this reality.

@JimboSaturn I don't desire anything other than basic food, clothing, and shelter. Other animals have no desire other than those of mine. Ok, they don't have clothing.
