Sounds nice, but I'm somehow very wary of following this logic. Let's hear from the guy who's living paycheck to paycheck who did what was fun. Though maybe he's still happy too, who knows. Or maybe the guy who started doing it and then "wised up" in his 30s but then it was too late and he's stuck in a job that's more boring than what he could have had if he was more prudent with his career. God, I sound like my dad now. EDIT: Also, him saying that money is a detail only helps in the short run. I have the same attitude toward an interesting project I'm about to quit my job for, but I recognize that this "fun", as it were, will be very short lived if I don't have some revenue. So, trying for real and lasting a year is better than selling out, but finding a way to make money off of the "real" thing is necessary if it's going to last.
