You make some good points, Austinz. I start with the thought of "What kind of life do I want to live?" and then go from there to figure out how much I need to make to make it happen. Then, any money made above that goes into savings or investing or back into a side project. The goal, for me, is to get to the place I want to be and then I will never go out on my own without the business to support it. I think what you say about toxicity is really interesting. If it's not toxic, it depends on the person if they want to put up with it. I'm slowly learning which one I am. I think I can put up with it, but I don't want to.
