Well, this is a difficult thing to talk about because there are certain people who have serious issues about money, affortunately, without being a materialistic person, I don't have that problem, so, lets talk!
"Money is not very important to me", this is a very casual sentence, although there's a lot of people who says that, but just because they make lots of money every month. When I use that sentence, I usually mean it, but it could sound a little contradictory giving the fact that I want to be a professional musician and my instrument is guitar, acoustic or electric, and get good instruments, and all the extra equipment like effect pedals, amplifiers, etc, is very, very, VERY expensive. In fact, in this point of my life I've bought good stuff, I have a great electric guitar, a few expensive proffesional effects. But, for buying all that stuff I've had to work sometimes during summer time and all that stuff, and practically all my money goes to that, guitar strings, guitar calibration... unfortunately, taking care of instruments is very expensive and those spends are necessary for the sound. And, in this time of year I've realize that I need a piano for studing in my house, so, that's another necessary spend. Fortunately, I've inherited my mom's gift of the good management of money. Is not that she is stingy, but she is great keeping it for necessary stuff, of maybe vacations or thing like that. So, when I want to buy something, I have no problem in saving the necessary money to do so.
Certain times, I start to imagine what would I do if I become a millionare, and my conclusion is that my life would not be very different, maybe I'll move out of my house and have lots of musical instruments and maybe a professional studio, but I'll keep doing the same things every day, I would not buy more expensive clothes, or jewelry, or cars, or going to eat every that at restaurants... I'd like to keep my life very plain, simple, there are lots of things more importante that money. Maybe I'd search for something to invest on it, but I'm very bad at business, and the only thing that comes to my head right now is real state.
Although I'm not a materialistic person, my instruments have a great value for me, and there are some of those who are well price in market, regardless the use. It would be terrible, and I really hope this never happens, but if is extremely necessary, I thing that I'll pound one of my instruments, my electric guitar is my more expensive item, so... only if I have no choice, I think that my instruments are the best things to get money from.
After all of this, I think that my bigest conclusion is that money is important for me because the occupation that I want for my life is expensive. But, if a get money from it, for it, and for a life style relatively similir to the one I have right know, I don't think that I'll need more. As I said it before, there are lot of things more necessary that money, and I hope that I never get run out of those things.
