    A real American scam is believing that you need to monetize your hobbies. Any full time job should pay enough to sustain a person. Everyone deserves to have free time away from work to enjoy whatever they like without having to turn their free time into another income stream

    Where is the cheapest place with the highest earning potential in the world?

    There should be no need to work for more than an hour per day to survive. Does such a place exist?

    The older I get, the less energy I have to pursue my passions in my downtime. When I was young, it was easy. I’d cook all night learning new things (mostly tech). Now, I just wanna rest. I mournfully look at the books that I bought last summer with fun stuff I’d like to learn. Sigh.

      Same here. Just with three kids added to the mix so I don’t even really have that “downtime that I’d like to use for hobbies but do use to rest” anymore.

    Existence is nothing more than being god’s slaves. Because god wants us all in shitty jobs instead of following our passions, whatever they may be.
