Work is not always a loss, people may actually prefer it over other obligations (eg. running after your small babies).
I agree with your overall point, albeit I'd restrict it to work done for others.

I've done just that over five years to get out of data science and into the job (now small business) I run. Planning is vital.
- eloff 6y agoYes, I worked two jobs for a while for exactly this reason, and now I'm full time on creating a small saas business. All part of my long term plan to financial independence that I'm slowly, sometimes painfully, executing.
- icelancer 6y agoOh, if it's not painful, you're not doing it right. Keep going :)
- eloff 6y agoI think your point is fully compatible with what I'm saying, working on your own thing, presumably to get financial independence or a job that's agreeable and pays the bills is an excellent alternative to just renting your time.
