Do I even deserve money? (alien.top)

So to keep it short and sweet, I have the potential to make a lot of money but I feel like I’m either A too lazy to work to make more or B I don’t have a pain or strong enough desire for money, like I’m not on the verge of homelessness and I don’t have any dire need for money, I hear alot that it’s bad to chase money or it’s bad to want it without having a reason but is that really true? Is my lack of discipline to make money because of bad habits such as laziness or do I not have a good enough reason? This makes me very confused, because I want to make tons of money but I don’t want to make it just to have flashy things. Any advice from someone who went through the same?

I want to make more money because I want to know that me and my family will be okay and that I don't have to worry about retirement. As a 24 year old, future retirement for all of us is looking bad. It's just not feasible like it was for our older generations, we will be working until we're 75. All of my retired family lives off $800-$1300 a month with social security and only two of the family membwrs I'm thinking of had a loaded 401k to help support them.

That's my real worry is being so goddamn old and STILL having to work just to make ends meets when it's hardest. That is my motivation.
