When money doesn’t motivate you anymore.

- When we're younger, the desire for money is a huge motivator. It's what gets us out of bed and off to work each day. So what happens when money is no longer the motivator it used to be? What do you do when you have enough?

Thank you @RossCuth for pointing out the glitch in the previous version of this video! For anyone interested, it occurred when exporting from an external SSD drive - even though it's a very fast one.
I resonate with this message. You can only come to this conclusion, when you have the money, then you realize it’s not all about money. It is time to enjoy the things you accomplished.
Absolutely. And I've been completely broke twice. Less than broke, actually - so I know what it feels like to spend a decade digging yourself out of a hole.
@@peterfritzphoto yeah stayed away from long term relationships. Only was broke during my teen years. Happy that it worked out for you
@@zirgreen1 I'm on my third - and final - marriage. The second one left me with zero assets and $140k of debt. It was brutal. But life is good, now, thanks in large part to the wonderful woman I'm with.
It seems like the overall message of this video is practicing gratitude. I've been doing this as a daily practice on my drives to work recently, listing off all the things I'm grateful for that day. It helps me start the day off on a good foot, taking the time to appreciate the small things, but also recognizing the big things to be grateful for too. Thanks for the small bit of wisdom! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Brendan!
Wonderful video Peter on gratitude and what you can do when money doesn't motivate you anymore:
"Get in your car and go for a drive out in the countryside, just you and the road and the landscape.
Take pictures and breathe in the Wonders around you and appreciate what you have.
[What you have] were probably dreams at some point in the past."
Spot on. I love driving but feel like I need a purpose to drive somewhere. Taking pictures is a wonderful excuse. Perhaps its time to dust off the old DSLR?
Absolutely! That's one of the best things about outdoor photography - whether it's landscape or automotive - it gives us an excuse to leave the house.
Beautiful Peter! Your words are spot on and that drive is stunning! Have an amazing week 💙
Thanks, luvvy. xo
self > family > community > state > nation > world.
You are clearly still stuck on yourself. I hope you can level up and one day look outward.
You don't know me. You don't know my family. You don't know the work I've done over the last few decades; the charities I actively support, nor the causes I engage with. This is a single video, and it's but a small vignette of a much larger picture. Perhaps you need to look inward before being so judgemental with so little information.
had a tear in my eye, made me want to step off the race for a while
I hear ya. It's been too long since I drove my singular drives. And did other simple things I did without having to watch the clock every ten minutes.
This, and a few of your other videos have hit home more than i imagined. I mentioned in another comment that work had become a means to an end i no longer really enjoyed. To make matters worse i compensated for not enjoying work by telling myself i deserved nice cars, none of which i could really afford. Which made the pressure of work greater and prolonged my dependency on it. Just wish i’d had the self awareness to realise this sooner. Thanks Peter for posting this content, yes i adore everything Porsche but as the saying goes the best porsche is the one you can afford 👍
I’m honoured to have you here, Jon. Thank you, mate.
All i can say is im definitly gonna love binge watching your your videos.
Thanks, Kent. 🙂
I am 36, married with a kid on the way. I have owned a 2013 Boxster s for 5 years now. And I just can’t get over how much fun this car affords me. Every time I get in, it’s love. Genuine gratitude to own it- paid all in cash. My wife and I enjoy the mountain roads on this and yes I am genuinely content like you said. Money isn’t a motivator, what motivates is to come back home to a loving family that enjoys and lets me enjoy these wonderful things in life. A house by the beach, a place without danger and a car that I absolutely love ❤
Good on you, Shivang. Your life sounds well-sorted and in balance. 👍
Great video and message. Really enjoyed those images and drone footage and downshift's amazing stuff
we spend most of our lives we sacrifice our health and time to pursuit making money. when we no longer need to, we pay whatever's necessary, to enjoy the remaining health and time that we have left.
So true. And most of us are guilty of the same folly - myself included.
Well said! Thank you!
"People don't care less about how I look, what I do for a job, or what I own." 4:32
That may be true. I have lived here for 8 months and know 9 of our nearest neighbors and not one has asked me what I do to earn my money. On the other side of the coin (pun intended) I only know the career of one of them.
Boy, those 8 months went by very fast. It’s funny, I just had my first chat with one of our neighbours behind us yesterday, and one of the first things he asked was, “So, what do you do for a living?” It’s so common in Australia. How have you settled in? Enjoying it?
Gratitude ftw :)
Im glad I found your channel. Great video as always. I used to want lots of cars and watches but I don’t anymore. I have my scruffy, old 911 and a Speedmaster, and that’s all I really want materially. More time is what I’m after now.
I so relate, Cory. I'm very content with my 10-year-old Boxster, and I barely look at other cars anymore. My burning desire for a new 911 has all but died, and will only come back to life if I ever accidentally become stupidly rich. As for the Speedmaster, I'm probably going to get a Seamaster Diver or Planet Ocean, and that'll be it. That said, I'm completely enthralled by the manual movement in the Speedmaster. And I like what Jay Leno said about having a manual-wind watch: "I like the fact that it needs me."
Dear Peter,
Love you’re channel. I Want to start with some nice words from Mark Strong.
“TIME IS JUST TIME”.
“IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH IT THAT COUNTS”.
Tomorrow my Boxster 981 2.7 PDK is going to get a examination due to import it from Belgium to the Netherlands. Can’t wait to drive the dream car. Waiting for it from the age of 15. 28 years have past since. A lot has changed in life.
I have Watched all of you’re Porsche video’s more then once. And can relate to them. Keep em coming. (If you want, Check my old video’s of the 986 2.5)
In March I’m getting my Bremont Broadsword special limited edition watch as a memento of my father.
Thanks. Greetings from the Netherlands. And remember
“Time is just time” ……
@@Grandmasterroy Thanks for taking the time to write this - I'm most grateful. I watched both your 986 videos - I didn't realise how good even the original Boxster sounded! You've now got me learning about the Bremont, too. All the best to you, and happy motoring in your 981!
Peter, this is a great video. However, it is pissing down in the miserable UK right now and feels like it has been for over a year. Good on you and your beautiful country…
LOL - same here!!
live while your alive 🙏🏽
i’m far from wealthy and still very much consider money as a motivator, but enjoying life while we are temporarily here is something I wish most people did.
100%
Brilliant video Peter. I’ve been applying some of these principles and that gratitude has really been invaluable. My car is starting to get old, and i’ve been chasing something new - but this made me realize that i’m missing the point. Yes, i’ll get something eventually, but the present moment is worth more than any new car could be.
I agree. Thanks, Amrin.
Well said my friend Really enjoy your channel Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks, Gord.
Seen and enjoyed this now for a 4th time 😃 actually on my birthday, as a reminder of really living while we are here and alive. Good insight in placing value in relationships and all the things in life that come free, like spending time in natur. The Boxster will however set me back a few bucks when I pull the trigger I guess.....but, you only live once and you need to enjoy the ride, decided I need one, period🙂 That road looks fantastic, nothing like it up here in frezzzzing Sweden, if in Auzzie land I will definatly give it a drive. Cheers!
Haha - good for you, Jeremy! I know the feeling! And happy birthday! 🎉
Thanks, 59...but hey who is counting :)@@peterfritzphoto
@@jeremyhoffmann2909 Ah, you’re still young. My dad’s still fit and strong at 87! Besides, when you’re 50, you’re all grown up, so it’s okay to start growing back down again. That makes you 41, now. 👍😄
It's true, I love your review, it's so true, I've always loved Porsche, especially the GT4RS,that's the king of the track. The passionate sound seems to be calling the racers to conquer it
Thanks for dropping by, Siyao.
OMG, it's nice to get a reply to my comment from someone in the same hobby, it's an interesting thing to see, have you modded this Porsche?ME.I hear you.I hear ya.I hear it.I hear it'sI can hear the sound of it.I hear it sounding moreI can hear it sounding moreI hear a more magnetic sound from it.@@peterfritzphoto
Thanks Peter for this video .
Thanks for watching, Steven.
Very good message. I might not be the norm in that I don't place too much value on money, but I do still think of future goals too much at times, ending up not "living" in the present as a result. A good country drive, and yes getting out of the car and experiencing the nature at a slower pace too, does wonders to ground us. Cheers!
Thank you, Sean. BTW, I love your profile photo. Did you take that?
@@peterfritzphoto Unfortunately that's not mine, but I do find inspiration in it and hope to take similar shots one day!
@@seanm996 I can see why. 👍
A great reminder to appreciate what you already have, and to be PRESENT as much as possible--not thinking about what has happened or what may be coming up...just being.
100%. Thanks for watching.
Looks like fun! Great message.
Thanks, Mark. It sure was!
excellent stuff
Great video Peter. 2014 version of your 981, Carrera white and black leather. Like a fine pair of broken in shoes.
Thanks, Frederick!
Funny, I saw a gent in a 997 (methinks) white Carrera S and thought of you. Then I thought of my white 1988 959 (scale 1/36), which sits on my nightstand.
My mentor gave me the 959 as a gift for my 16 birthday, when I had told him I’d given up on ever experiencing a Porsche, which he knew I loved.
He taught me that while it was good to work hard, earn a skill, make money, etc. I should never forget to get a life along the way.
I had almost forgotten his lessons, until the pandemic hit. Then is hit me, like Alan Watts said, enough is as good as a feast. Thank you for this video.
Thank you. Yes, there’s a point where striving too hard actually ruins your life. Better to be a happy striver who enjoys life along the way. Far less stressful! 👍
Time to be grateful for what you have and your life so far, not time to moan or think negative thoughts. You'll be history soon...
Indeed. And no one will remember us for very long. It's now or never.
Very nice video Peter!
Thank you, Luke.
Well I read this as: when you are content with what you are/have, you can no longer be pushed to do things just for money. Why accept a demanding position at work if you got all you need and more money probably won't increase your happiness by much?
That's an excellent way to frame it. Yes!
Well said! I am thoroughly enjoying this phase of my life specifically to now savor and appreciate what we spent most of the rest of our lives accumulating for! It is time to no longer be running frantically around trying to build, accomplish, and accumulate. It is now time to be calm, relax, and savor all that we worked so hard for before it is too late.👍
Well said, Pedro. Reminds me of the Pink Floyd song, Time: “And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.”
Merry Christmas Peter.
Thank you, Mike - and the same to you.
great video - i definitely resonated with a lot of it
🙏
Thanks man
Thanks for watching. 👍
Peter! If you ever come to Perth I’d like to meet you. You’re a nice man 🤙🏾
@@situacionando Thanks, Jose. I’d welcome another drive across the Nullarbor.
Brilliant - simple insight - loved the drone shots - the joys of being more mature ( I didn't want to say old) thanks for the excellent video!
Haha! Thank you, Oliver.
So calming, relatable, and insightful. I watched this video, as well as your other videos, at least 4 times!
Thanks, Jimmy!
Love the message! Australia is obviously a beautiful land. Of course you can say that about most anywhere. I'd love to drive that road in Australia. But I don't know that I could get used to driving on the wrong side of the road like y'all do.
True indeed - the world is full of spectacular places. Thanks, Brian.
Some very interesting questions posed here . Great job putting that together Peter and thanks for the video ( s) .
Thanks, Chris.
Great video. I find these videos you do about life to be very helpful and motivating. I'd be interested to learn more about how you have invested successfully in your life to reach this point (I have watched your debt free video). Thank you!
Thank you, Eoin. I'd like to do something like that - a straightforward, methodical timeline of what I did, where I screwed up, and what actually worked. I appreciate your interest in the topic, so I'll start working on it over Christmas.
bloody hell peter
LOL
Hey Peter,
❤ your videos! Good good job.
Your question is the right one.
I love my nice canon camera and love photography like you do!
I love my nice 981 Boxster S like you do.
But most of all I love my friendship to JESUS. HE is THE answer and Most importiert „thing“ in live.
Greetings from the land of Porsche. ✌️🇩🇪
Thanks for dropping in Tobias. It seems we have a lot in common. My dad is from Deutschland, too. 🙂
