I cannot put a dollar value on my happiness. Money is somewhat important but it is not the indicator of happiness. People who have a lot of money tend to fear not having it much more than someone without.
Money = Time: For what? I think striving for a sustainable life is great. However a truly sustainable life requires no money. Sure it takes money to develop the infrastructure for such a lifestyle if one does not always exist. But most people I have encountered with this drive do not do it because of want of money. It's because they want to be free from the restraints of money.
So, you don't have money but you're able to provide for yourself? Or is someone else providing for you?
I guess what I'm getting at is I don't want someone else to provide for me. So for me, financial independence = time. Sure I could have time and hope someone foots the bill, be a pan handler or wandering hippie. But I'd much rather own my own little corner of the earth and know it's as much mine as possible.
Is it normal...to be obsessed with money?

To each their own.
