Wow I've never heard a money analogy like that! It makes perfect sense, though. And yes, it seems like 99 percent of the people I've ever talked to have the same exact beliefs about money. They work tons of hours at a job they hate, but the funny thing is that they expect others to do the same. It's like you're supposed to be busy and be grinding out hours at a stressful job every day to make a living, but if you want something more out of life you're looked at as some kind of strange, lazy bum.
Hell in my culture, even going to school and getting a higher education is seen by a waste of time by a good chunk of people. They believe you need to work and work hard of course, but why waste time going to school educating yourself when you can make money right away? And needless to say, ALL of these people are always broke and working the crappiest of jobs.
Totally agree that financial freedom is necessary. Money makes the world go round whether we like it or not. Might as well accept it and figure out a way to achieve financial freedom and make tons of money rather than complaining and hating money.
I honestly could "work" a job that would involve talking, watching, and writing about sports all day everyday and never get tired of it. And I know everyone has that same passion about SOMETHING. Why not make it happen?
