Other than money, what is it that motivates most Americans?

I think it's probably relief from boredom more than anything else.

I'm starting to think anger and hatred towards those that don't align with them, and trying to avoid accountability. Think the latter has become a sport, blaming everyone else about the issues at hand, just look at the US "politics". Says enough.

I’ll say freedom. Freedom to do what you want, when you want… and how you want. A lot of us value having control over our life and not feeling trapped by systems. Money is the key to this personal freedom.

Also we’re motivated by the need for stability and security…. Which money is also the means to both.

@exitseven thanks

I think it is a love of challenges and not boredom. I became a marathon runner because of the challenge , there was no money involved. I rebuilt an old stereo receiver because I wanted to see if I could do it.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Money! Oh wait, that’s still money…

Sex , beer , and the algorithm is my second guess.

[On_cloud_wine]

Yeah, I agree. People need to be around people. I learned that in my darkest days. I had a manager who could have been a house wife but she’s too much an extrovert.. she got a job at a restaurant and her rich husband hired a nanny to take care of the children

Most Americans? Probably relief from boredom. I think that’s a good guess.

Freedom, finding my way in the world, preparing myself for my future family, stuff like that. I imagine it's pretty similar for other folks here.

Love motivates me. 💖

Even tho sometimes it's love of things that aren't really all that good for me, like booze and stuff. 🤣

[DrPepper12]

Drugs, sex, sleep, power, sadism... The usual

[Agape93]

Entitlement.

P***y for straight Yankee chaps.
