How I Know I'm Not Motivated By Money

Tonight I saw a preview for a movie with a pretty standard storyline: guy is super successful, guy has millions of dollars, guy thinks he has everything, guy meets girl, guy loves girl but girl doesn't love guy, guy realizes he doesn't have everything.

And it got me thinking -- I am not motivated by money. And this is how I know:
  1. Even though I get paid hourly (and at a really good rate), I really hate the fact that I was at work for an extra two and a half hours on two different nights this week.
  2. When I say, "I wouldn't do that for a million bucks," I almost always mean it.
  3. No matter how much money I have, my favorite bottle of wine will still only be $9.
  4. When I see really enormous houses, I always think about how long it would take to clean them really well. (I also think about the complications of cleaning when looking at vaulted ceilings.)
  5. I'm in graduate school to be a librarian.
