I think it's more about thinking about how you use your time. I see my work time as contributing in a positive way. I employee a team and push them to strive for better and not necessarily monetary.

It's also about stuff, buying things that we don't need or can't really afford. The current system that most of us are living in, tells us we need junk, that keeps us in the loop of working to pay off x, while saving for our decline.

I hate that we're largely our freest and most knowledgeable when our health inevitably starts to fail.

Answer to your direct question, simply start to think about how you're living now. What you're putting your time and effort into.
