Wow who would've thought a large income allowed you to take risks and embrace change?
Imagine being a copywriter for 25 years, on 30k, paying a mortgage, running a car, feeding a family, trying to save on what's left... And all your clients dry up. You've got no other skills, you invested your career in copywriting. You don't have the savings to pivot and your kids need new school uniforms now, not when you reskill to a new career.
You lost your clients. Now your home. Maybe your wife and kids too.
Money is a buffer from risk most don't have.
I hope you never feel this and get to keep the luxury of poking fun at other people for being risk averse without the buffer. Maybe bring some compassion to the table tho? Furry art or copywriting, it isn't anyone's place to judge the merit of the income.
