> taking a 20% pay cut in the process
It's something I could do, but I always think that as long as I'm able to earn that money, better get it as we don't know what tomorrow will be made of.
- GordonS 6y agoI have a young family, and your priorities change after that. Still though, as a software engineer without a family and with money as high priority, you'd have a whole extra day per week to spend on side projects...
- foobarian 6y agoMakes me wonder, with all the Covid WFH if people work more than one full-time job...
- giantg2 6y agoI agree and have heard similar comments from older relatives. Make it while you can, because maybe one day you won't have that opportunity.
- julianlam 6y agoYou also hear the reverse, that you should enjoy life while you can, because maybe one day you won't be able to anymore (that is, getting old). What it boils down to is: do things (work & play) while you're young. Spinning in place is the only real waste of time.
- giantg2 6y agoYeah, they also recommend living life. I think the work thing kind of came up more/first just because one typically needs money to go do enjoyable stuff. I spin in place.
