For nearly everybody, money determines if you can achieve your "endgame" goals. If my "endgame" goal is to retire on a cruise ship and travel the world while sipping Mai-Tais by the pool, I'm not going to achieve that working minimum wage.
If my ideal life is just sitting around playing video games, I'm not going to achieve that without doing some work somewhere to pay the bills.
The romantic notion that people should stop working jobs they hate and just do what they love only works in one of three scenarios:
1. You have enough money saved that you don't have to make a wage to pay the bills
2. "What you love" also happens to be very profitable.
3. "What you love" is living in a tent downtown begging people for change so you can eat your next meal.
