Attempting to channel the spirit of Adam Neumann:

"No one has to live for money, just do what you love! If you don't want to be tied down, then get embrace your inner nomad and live the #vanlife. Roam the world, #hustle_and_grind while you're young, and set up your passive income streams and you can get that money monkey back off your back. You're lucky to be born into the greatest country in the world, so be grateful and take advantages of the opportunities you have! Everyone goes through tough times, but you can choose whether to play the hand you're given or whine about it."

The utopian capitalist answer is that this is a flaw in your brain, a symptom of an illness. They will tell you that the healthy human brain will allow you to be happy and find meaning in any and all situations because there exists someone somewhere who could.
