    I don’t want financial security to avoid anxiety. I want financial security so that my anxiety stops being about money.

    You can have a job that provides meaning, not just income, and you can still keep that job even after establishing sufficient passive income that you don’t strictly need to. Knowing that I don’t need to work anymore would make me feel more secure (especially since I worry that my skills will soon be replicated by AI) but it wouldn’t make me quit my job.
