If you're one of the top streamers, with decent financial literacy, you will easily make enough to retire by 30 if you started streaming at say 20.

- AutumnCurtain 5y agoNowadays there are financial planners focusing on content creators/streaming talent who will know the specifics of tax structures and advantages, etc. as well.
- jrockway 5y agoBut what if you're not one of the top streamers, and you just get 250 viewers a few times a week? I watch a lot of people like that. It seems to pay for room and board, but I worry about their future.
- thesuitonym 5y agoFor some people it's a career. For people with ~250 viewers a few times a week...they probably need another job.
- tastyfreeze 5y agoWhy is that a problem? Nobody cares for the millions of people that try to be professional athletes, musicians, artists or dancers that are barely making ends meet and ultimately move on to something else. This is just like any other endeavor. Many try, most fail, some succeed wildly. We don't need to feel bad for the people that try and fail. That is part of life and progressing as a person.
- che_shirecat 5y agoWhat's the alternative? Alot of these people are great entertainers and terrible <anything else>. If they weren't streaming they'd be working shifts at McDonalds. If anything they're doing the most advantageous thing they could be doing.

- Aunche 5y agoThat works for the millionaire streamers, but I'm sure a lot of them make modest incomes as well.
