I'm neither paid hourly nor salaried, but I'm kind of like a craftsman so there's a direct relationship between the value of the violins I carve and how much money I make. I'm a decent cook and can do so on occasion like you mention but generally prefer my craft to the craft of cooking and as the former compensates at a much higher rate than the savings of the latter the problem presented stands. I can just keep doing what I'm doing but exploring other options and seeing what people like you have to say to try to gain potential insight into a potentially better state.
- mft_ 5y agoIs it really that much of a zero sum game? Do you use every minute saved from not shopping, cooking, and washing dishes on your craft in a productive way that reliably earns extra dollars?
- ht85 5y agoIt is a zero sum game but the currency is not money, it is time. Those minutes you save not cooking can be used to do anything else. The thing is, if you ever look at the situation from a financial standpoint, you'll always see the same picture: cook for yourself, save say 2000$ a month for 20h of extra work, or work an additional 10h doing your lucrative job and make the same amount back.
