- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoWe have minimum wage, but I’m not working for anyone else. I am partnering with a small startup team, writing software for nonprofits. It has always been my dream to work for free. I am fairly good at what I do; largely because I love doing it. I consider it a craft, not just a vocation. If no one is interested in paying me for my work, I’ll do it anyway; except on my terms; and that makes all the difference. In fact, I love doing it so much, I don’t really want to go back to working for others. It’s kind of too bad. I would have been happy to work for a lot less than most, as my retirement was assured some time ago, but that’s all water under the bridge.
- fgonzag 5y agoThat's what I'm working towards. Build enough of a nest so that I can spend the rest of my life just contributing to open source software / passion projects. I'm hoping I'm done by my early 40s (mid thirties ATM). I have a target amount that should afford me a relatively well off life just off interest. The moment I hit that number I'm stepping off the treadmill.
