Not optimizing for money is setting yourself up for long term sadness.
I'm not saying work for minimum wage. Money is obviously a component to happiness, because while you can't buy happiness, it's hard to be happy when you can't afford to eat. But you probably don't have to hit 100% of your maximum earning potential to avoid starvation-induced unhappiness, which is why optimizing for money is not my approach.
