And making money affords us a certain freedom: to take a little vacation, to maybe buy a shirt we like, to go to a bookstore and buy that cool artbook we never could have bought before.

If your spouse makes money, and you can choose, that is great. But it's not always the case. Though I want to buy the Unabomber cabin (yet not be the unabomber mentality) I have to have my own money to do so.

Otherwise, you have to make your way in this world. Sadly, it's all about doing the best you can with the skills you have, and making it. Otherwise, you're always wishing the next day will be better and easier.

Well that is until the government comes along and tells you that you have to pay for all those other people who did not work and sacrafice as hard as you.
