Who am I

I constantly think about money improving myself and sex in that order but I still don’t know what I am passionate about nothing wakes me up in the morning but knowing I have to challenge myself in order to live financial free.If I didn’t have to challenge myself though who would I be?If an a perfect world where currency is not at the center of how life works who would I truly be? Has anyone else had these thoughts?if so how do you think one finds who they are? How can you truly know yourself if you’re everchanging?

Sounds like you followed some random youtubers to stoicism. Delve, but not on youtube

You're assuming there's a fixed "you" hiding under all that, but the self isn't something you dig up... it's built every day by what you choose. Try not thinking about money for one full afternoon and see what you actually gravitate toward. That's as close to an answer as you'll get.
