Most people aren't aiming for the jackpot. I make less than that from the things I do, but it was enough to pursue a bunch of long-deferred hobbies to the point that I could close off or change the paths I had in mind for them, for years. Now that little bit can go toward becoming more since I was able to explore the full space of possibilities and get a better sense for what I wanted to do.
