> If I don't care about this 'stuff' then why would I care to work for someone whose only goal is to acquire more of this stuff for themselves
That's a legitimate question. The "trick" is to either work for someone not trying to acquire more stuff for themselves, like a non-profit or a collective. And of course working something that is pleasurable to yourself, not random busywork with no real purpose.
Realising how that sounds, I'm not trying to convince or argue with you, just sharing a different perspective. Every person is different - some like material wealth ( i personally enjoy various stuff money can buy, although certainly not Ferrari-level stuff), some like wealth for the sake of it ( most billionaires still at it).

I’m currently sat under a lorry monitoring various video feeds of the jubilee (having set them up yesterday), it’s great fun, and something money can’t buy.
