Are people like me - for whom every moment spent thinking about the need for money is a moment spent in anguish - just not supposed to exist?

    Yeah, this.

    The real key is to get in, get paid, and get out, and try not to get addicted to prestige or consumption in the process (which is hard when everyone else is addicted to prestige and consumption).

    Edit: Also the entire economy would collapse if everyone did this, which is why it, itself, is a utopian vision of capitalism. Capitalism only works if the vast majority of real capital is constantly moving. The precarity is the point.
