Many of us desire more money, however I believe a better goal is this:

Seek to maximize your leisure hours and mental space.

Better to be poorer with more leisure than richer with less leisure.

---

Leisure as hours and emptiness of mind

Leisure requires an emptying of your mind. Fewer cares, duties, obligations, and responsibilities. Even if you had 10 hours of free time, as long as you got all these worries and concerns in your mind, you cannot leverage your time for creative, philosophical, or scholarly ends.

Or in short:

Seek more freedom and leisure to indulge your creative activities. Less concern with money, fame, and honors.
