Why?

[NerdSmasher]

What is the drive behind you when you are working towards financial freedom or wealth?

Do you want freedom?
A new car?
Retirement?
Do you enjoy building wealth?
Want to provide for your family?
A gift for your significant other?
Increase cashflow?
Build a business?
Gain self esteem?
Help fund a charity?
Put your children through college?
Put food on the table?
Boredom?
Prove to someone that you can do it?
Gain respect?
Etc.

The only reason I ask, is because while it's good to know where you're going, without knowing the why, you could still easily end up nowhere. If the going gets tough, your reasons why are what will either pull you through, or fail, and be why you simply give up.
That's not to say that what one person thinks is a poor reason why is bad for another person. It's all your opinion.

For me, it's a lot of things, to provide for my future family. To prove that I can do it. To become free, not just financially, but free of stress, of regular daily things I hate, etc. And, to simply do what I love.
I'm sure these reasons will change over time; but it's always good to look at them from time to time.

So, again I ask you: Why do you do what you do?
