Omar Zenhom argues that wanting money isn't something to apologize for. Financial resources let you afford health, therapy, better food, time with family, and peace of mind. Stop treating the desire for money as shameful.
Let's stop apologizing for wanting to make money. Let's stop pretending that staying small and broke is some sort of virtue. Money can't buy you happiness, sure. But let me tell you what it can buy. It could buy you therapy. It could buy you groceries that don't come in a box. It could buy you time with your kids. It can give you a break when you need it. It can give you a soft bed, quiet mornings. It can give you peace of mind. That's not luxury. That's health. You're not selfish for wanting more. You're smart. You're protecting your health. And that's something worth fighting for.
