I asked this question before but I want more answers. I do want a nice comfortable life but I am just not all that motivated by money. How do I get that murderous "I would kill my mother for money" attitude?

Either become despondantly poor (not recommended), or go seek all the luxuries of life that you are missing. Test every car, woman, bar, fantasy you can't afford. Maybe you can do both at the same time.
Or if that won't help, consider greater objectives; what could you do with a billion dollars? What kind of influence could you have if you had enough power? To make your own life, your family's life, and possibly the world -- What is stopping you? What do you think motivates Bill Gates?

There are other ways to get money than to go chase after it...
You can also try letting it come to you.
#1) Some people are better off making money the hard way, by going out and working their butts off, selling their souls & their lives, etc....
#2) But did you ever notice, some people don't have to work that hard, the "lucky" ones, and it seems that the money just flows to them?
Think about it... who are you going to trust your OWN money with... a money-hungry bloodsucker, or just a normal guy that's not too motivated to make money????
So if you're not feeling motivated, maybe it's your heart trying to tell you that maybe you're part of group #2 - not #1. Perhaps you should be listening to your heart more, and not trying to go against it.
Then, you should investigate all the successful people you might know in your life (or you can read books or go online & study famous successful people). Not all of them were money-hungry bloodsuckers. In fact, most of them weren't - because nobody really wants to do business with them. If you study them, most of them have a multitude of valuable qualities, but nearly all have at least 1 thing in common: they're all Passionate about what they do. That's why they say, "Do what you love & makes you happy.... the money will come later."
Passion makes you get better faster, which makes you more successful - which attracts money. Passion is also just simply more inspiring & attractive than just mere greed - and people can feel the difference in attitude.... I'm sure You can, too. That's why a lot of very successful small businesses are run by... believe it or not, "good" people. Passion is not the only quality that you'll need to ensure success, obviously,.... but it is the first, most important one.
So perhaps, instead of asking how to get more money hungry, perhaps you should be asking "What do I feel passionate about, enough so that I would do it for free?" If you can inspire people with your passion, if you can use your passion to solve problems, or to help make other people's lives better or happier,.... trust me, they'll give you money for it.

Meditate on how much a nicer, better and much more deserving person you are, than all those jerks who have oodles of the green stuff.
And ask your dad how much he would cough up, if he coud be sure your mum would have a sudden "accident".

You really don't want that existence...it's stressful and ugly. No amount of money is worth trading your soul for in life.

If you seek true wealth, try seeking inner wealth first, if you are one with your own welfare, than your means of becoming wealthy comes natural, regardless if you have 1 cent or worth millions

give all your money away to charity and leave yourself penniless. And give away your house and car away too. then borrow money from someone really dangerous and give all that money away too. Then when the person comes after you, you'll be desperate.

don't, don't, don't. you don't want it - first of all, wanting it, doesn't make you get it. why? if it's that important, go rob a bank. want to try something really motivating? give away everything you own and survive on your instincts. that would be commendable.

Why on earth would you want to cultive that?
It is an attribute that will only lead to misery.
