To what extent and how much do you value money?

It's what makes the world go around.
Everyone needs it at some point.

Some people are lucky, some not so much. I'm in the lucky group, all to my parents.

Me personally, before taxes, I make anywhere between 50-75k per year, my wife hits around 125k, so total we make 175-200k a year. I know yall are gonna call me a rich mother fucker, but at least half of that goes to living, the insurance on my cars,  and paying for newer parts and shit so I can keep winning.

Taxes always sap shit. Couple years back I would have made 12,000 from one of my jobs but taxes cut me down to 7500. But honestly I wouldn't even know what to do with even 50k.

But I ride the same boat as you. These are my expenses.

Gas for travel.
Insurance for vehicle.
Occasional repairs.

And I've done the math on the expenses for the restaurant too. Same deal. We lose over half to expenses and taxes and the rest goes to living and other payments. It's a tight rope.

Yearly gross income: 55k

None from parents.

Minimum amount to pay my current bills each month: $1,500/month

Max amount on hand: depends on what you mean. I keep a 3 month emergency fund in savings, and try not to keep more than a month's wage in checking. I'd be uncomfortable having more than $20k just sitting in the bank.

I value my money greatly.

I feel uncomfortable with having anything in the bank.

Why's that?

Save more then 3 months

If I worked in the private sector and didn't have a contract for the next 7 years I'd keep at least 6 months. Right now it's more of a hurricane/disaster/injury fund.

Money is a really boring topic of conversation.

Let's talk about foxes

My grandmother has a fox that visit her garden. She leaves food out for it every night.

My bank. Fucking crooks the lot of them. I make a habit not to deposit money in that infernal institution if I can help it.
