Wow... it's like a feeding frenzy in here!! 
I'm a little afraid to say anything... somebody might jump all over my case...
But what the hell, here goes anyway ---
My personal solution to the materialist/consumerist merry-go-round most people seem to thrive on:
Rather than get a high-stress job with loads of prestige and money so you can afford a better car and a bigger house, I prefer to live a pretty humble life, making enough to pay the bills plus do what it is I love to do.
Which is stop motion animation. Wait... this is not completely irrelevant. See, the money s just to support the art... (not just hobby.. art). The art feeds the soul. Coming up with stories, and making stuff and filming it etc takes a lot of time and effort... it fills the hours where most people just watch TV or whatever... and gives a sense of direction and purpose. Live for art, do art to live. Prestige doesn't enter into it.
Damn... hope I'm not bleeding into the water anywhere....
