Guess what? There is no balance between love and money. There is a constant dance, a dynamic, as it is with all self regulating systems. Still, if you live in the modern world (and humans have not quite mastered improving it to reflect how critical love is), you must make some money to live.

Money is an abstract concept, in fact, these days it is mostly digital. Money is important in the modern world only because by consensus it matters. Love is important in every possible, and real, concrete way. Love is what rules laws of attraction, from gravity attracting planets to suns, to adolescents falling into first puppy love. Love is what makes a newborn baby of value, without love, who needs a baby?

There is much for humanity to learn about Nameless Attractive Intelligent Love, (NIAL) but that is a whole other article. For now, people need to find positive ways to earn and still love life.

Balance between making a living and love is best realized when a person LOVES what they do. That is, a career should reflect your passion for defending your values, your loved ones, and all organisms which provide your life and make it healthy. For some this means being in the healing, teaching, or assisting professions. For others it means finding truth through science, environmentalism, green energy or activism. For still others it means farming, raising a moral family, or following spiritual paths.

Whatever your passion, put it first and the money will follow.

Most human beings have to earn a living, and they earn a paycheck, (not by appreciating and celebrating connections which provide the sustenance: air, water, food and soil, and even connection and joy).  Most of them have to serve masters of money and/or status until world consciousness awakes to the fact of belonging and needing to serve humanity by connecting to it.

This is not to say that exchanging goods and services for represented value is evil in and of itself, but to make it the center and sole consuming drive for humanity has proven disastrous. The more important it becomes, the less important the real earth becomes, and that world is laid waste due to human separation from it.

People are motivated by attractions, because people are formed by nature. People belong to one particular planet, earth, and for now, their motivations are all based on belonging to a somewhat sick society fixated on owning more.

If this is so, then why is earth so messed up? Again, this is due to attractions. People have an enormous longing for truth and belonging. They want to believe and they want to belong, but not too much longer after discovering human belonging they began to rationalize reasons why some people were much more deserving of abundance than others

The drive to have money and power is of course due to people wanting good lives, or at least improved lives. They want “their share.”  But so long as the concept of scarcity drives everyone to compete, rather than to cooperate to protect the abundance, there is the constant leaping about to balance love and money as if they both were separate.
