The Valencian screenwriter and film director Vicent Monsonís (Valencia, 1968) grew up in a working-class family. "My mother worked incredibly hard to earn her teacher's salary. It was a modest wage to raise four children on her own," he recalls. That experience shaped his understanding of money: "Money is a vehicle, not an end in itself. The goal has never been to earn a lot or accumulate it, but to use it as a means to achieve other things." In fact, everything depends on your aspirations: "If your goals are simple, it's easier to achieve them. I don't want to buy a Maserati because I don't see any substance in it," he asserts. "When you're ambitious for the superfluous, it's greed," he concludes.
