You sound like someone who has never had to chose between food or rent
Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money?

The free time I have, I do these things in this order:
- Hang out with my wife and kids
- Chill out with recreational things like gaming
- Continue to study, read books and take online courses, contribute to open-source and build applications for startups
- Convert that free time to $100/hr
Trying to make MORE money is at the bottom for me.
And if you ARE money driven, working hourly isn’t how most people became rich. They usually win the lottery by doing a hobby that ended up paying dividends. Like building a app and getting bought out, or collecting Pokemon cards or something.

And his or her opinion is as valid as the rest. What’s your point

That they sound like someone who has never had to choose between food or rent… You can usually tell by the way there’s a certain kind of innocence in the way they speak about stuff like personal finance. I could be wrong though. Anyways, I think that’s relevant information to disclose when sharing financial insight anonymously online.

I have had to make that choice and now that I’m no longer in that situation, I agree with everything he wrote. Now that I’m able to cover my expenses and have some savings, I’m fairly comfortable, and the desire to make more money has faded away. There’s a lot of things I prioritize over more money.

I did when I was growing up all the way to when I graduated.
I spent the past 15 years to ensure I never had to do that again.
But fuck me right?

Fair response. I had assumed for many people 100/hr would replace their primary job and thus be worth the trade. If were talking measure time after your primary job, I certainly understand valuing that time even higher than your hourly rate at said job.
