My philosophy is, as long as you are financially independent, you earned your right to work on useless projects. If not focus your energy on making a recurring source of income which generates money even if you end up in hospital for 1 year.
- jlokier 5y agoMy philosophy is that it is harsh to treat it as a luxury that should be limited to those who achieve financial independence, because most people won't achieve that independence no matter how hard they try (or if they do they will be rather old, i.e. retired), but the need for creative leisure and self-expression throughout life is strong in a lot of people.
- blocked_again 5y agoI agree. My comment was mostly from the perspective of a software engineer. I have not achieved financial independence. Is no where close at the moment. But still the philosophy remains. I don't think it's that hard to achieve financial independence especially if you are a software engineer. So giving up even before trying is not the most optimimum decision I think.
