For most of my life it was money. I'm fine with large numbers but put a "$" in front of it and I'd head for the door.

I’m so afraid of losing my job and having no money that I can’t bring myself to spend any money.

With AI this concern has greatly accelerated, so now I’ve taken a Faustian bargain with a very high paying job that makes me hate life so that I can be free in a few years.
