What's your biggest motivator to work?

Clean hookers are expensive.

Beer and cannabis at the end of the day.

6) I don't want to live in a van down by the river

Frankly the first 3 you mention. But I have been working the same job since October of 2008. I work as a bagger at a Kroger store. I get 40 hours a week. I live in my own 2 bedroom apartment, pay an electric bill, an internet bill, as well as DC Universe, Disney+, and Hulu.

That may not be the case in a few years when minimum wage in my state of Illinois hits $15 an hour. I fear I will lose my job then. But so will a lot of people. Prices are already going up. Right now a regular candy bar when not on sale costs $1.10. Minimum wage hits $10 an hour in July. The prices will go up more then. Farmers will not just pay their workers more money and not raise prices on their crops.

Of course mentioning all this here is stupid since most people here are leftists who don't understand basic economics or what minimum wage really is. They stupidly think if minimum wage is $15 an hour then everyone will make a better living. They stupidly think that $15 minimum wage will make it so that raises won't be needed again. They don't realize you have to make above minimum wage to make enough to support yourself even if it is $15 an hour.

So if minimum wage is $15 an hour then you will have to make $20 an hour to make a decent living. And a lot of businesses will be raising their prices to pay their workers that much. I am through with my rant and I am sure you leftists on here think that what I posted is bullcrap. But just you wait. You'll soon find it's not.

As a young man my motivation was to be able to give a huge middle finger to all those that had told me that I was worthless.

After that I wanted to be recognised as the best at what I did (comic book reference intended).

Now it’s to be able to genuinely help people (corny I know).

My motto is: I work to live, I don't live to work.

If you need motivation then you're not doing the right work. As cheesey as that sounds. If you're running around all day in a hamster wheel chasing money, try to escape. That is someone elses dream you are living.

Sense of accomplishmemt is pretty much it for me. Don't really need the money anymore but if I don't go to work I get restless. So sense of accomplishment and to balance the day.
