This seems plausible enough. I guess I'm surprised that one can live sustainably with such a lifestyle and income. Wild because I would consider myself "barely getting anywhere in life" living the typical 9-5 job, probably earning more cash and with even less spare time. Theoretically higher work efficiency, but perhaps for naught? If one can get by with a more enjoyable life and working less, living on a boat. Also I did not mean to say that their creative output is not useful because it's not work. They are definitely doing more useful work than me.
