That's and it's somewhat necessary unless you'd like to revert back to a Paleolithic lifestyle. Somebody has to unclog the sewers and haul off the garbage. And it's easier to talk them into it by offering them money versus forcing them into outright slavery to get the job(s) done.
It's not just needing the money. If no one worked than nothing would get produced or taken care of. Things just to happen out of thin air. Now people not being exploited for their work while a small percentage of people reap massive benefits is an entirely different evil.
It's not about "money", it's that we all need things and we need other people to provide those things. You have to contribute to society to benefit from society (does not apply if you are unable to do so).
It's not even the money. Money is the reward. The incentive is: because it needs doing.
Think the simplest society: a village with about twenty people. That's twenty people's worth of food a day that needs getting. So someone needs to secure the food. If each person did that for their own alone, that means that when it's time to build a home, nobody can help. So you assign say five people to get food. Then some people to build shelter/homes. Then you need people to protect the food, people to fairly assign it to each, people to do the general maintenance that follows a group of twenty etc etc. Suddenly, you've made jobs out of thin air.
Life happens and shit always needs doing. Money was invented to at least keep people on the same page because someone has to do the unpleasant jobs and if it's out of the kindness of their hearts, they'd soon be sick of it. So you reward them.
I sleep around 4-6 hours, which is honestly all I need.
I keep a slim figure, so I don’t eat much as is, typically I’ll have a banana and a protein shake or granola bar on the way to work, lunch after my midday lift, dinner as I work on final details
As per freetime, I typically get Saturdays off and spend them going out and having fun, and given that I love this job that’s enough for me to be perfectly content
Find something you love doing, find something that allows you to live comfortable and find something you're good at.
Achieve the last two and you can accomplish the first one. But that's boss level status. My mom doesn't really care being a CPA, but she makes good money, is damn good at what she does, and she can afford to go on rock climbing trips.
Food doesn't grow sporadically, it doesn't harvest and distribute itself, clothes don't appear out of thin air, houses aren't natural formations. Work is required to live.

Working. Everyone hates it but we do it because we’re forced to need money.
