There's a difference between wanting to make enough to live, and being "ambitious" to the point where making lots of extra money is a priority.

You're not talking about someone wanting to merely make enough to live, you're talking about wanting to make zero. Where does the money that they, and quite possibly their kids, live on come from? That is pretty damn important.

How much money is 'enough'? The median US household income is about $45k, which is pitifully little to raise a family on in most areas, and of course many of those households have two earners. It's funny that you're taking the SAH ideal as a reason to defend the 'unambitious' when the reality is that you have to be married to a way above-average, 'ambitious' wage earner to even consider doing it. Having an SAH spouse is a huge luxury. But that goes for a lot of life choices, I guess - people only ever say 'money is unimportant' if they have tons of it.

I guess I was just responding to the money thing in general - it seems like some people place making a ton of money VERY high on their priority scale, and it's not, for everyone.

people only ever say 'money is unimportant' if they have tons of it.

Who said "money is unimportant"? There are levels of priorities; there's relative importance, and something can still be important while not being *as* important as something else.

I guess my point is: you don't have to want to make lots of money.
