It's easy to say you don't care about money when you have plenty of it.

Ransom Riggs
About This Quote

Saying you “don’t care about money” is the most common reason people give for not trying to make more money. It makes sense, doesn’t it? If you have enough money to eat, drink, and live comfortably, why bother working hard? The problem is that this attitude isn't practical. There are plenty of people who have plenty of money, but are still out of work. Or they have a lot of money but they don't have the skills to earn more.
