Exactly. Your needs are just as important as the content you create. If you neglect yourself too much, you'll get to a point where money is what's in your mind at all times, and you'll be miserable and you won't even be able focus on work because of it. Then everything in your life will suffer, including work.

Money is essential, there's not much else to say. It's just as important to our well-being as anything else. Focusing on it is just natural. As long as we don't compromise yourself, and we don't become obsessed with money, and we don't ruin our work for the sake of some extra dollars, it's fine.
