    the secret to “doing what you love” for work is to have a solid passive income stream established beforehand. this takes alot of the stress of failure/eaking out maximum profit out of the equation.

    once you make more $ than you really need to spend, you can work as little/many hours at whatever type of job you want.

    rich people are rich because somewhere down the line their parents bought/passed down dividend paying stock (or they got lucky themselves/soldout a startup for some etc.). once you bring in 6 figs in passive income you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want as long as you don’t try to keep appearances with the super-rich.

    that is what all those “i weave baskets and my partner rehabilitates wild dolphins for a living, watch us shop for a 2-3 million $ house”-shows quietly never touch on.

      Eh yeah, that scenario is doing wonders with the millions who’re forced into paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyles. /s You might want to tone it down a few notches there.

      Rich people are rich because they’re cunning and well-connected, other times, it is just the birthing lottery.
