"Lifestyle business" is really an HN derogatory term for what most people would just call "financially successful business" ... that may not have ever promised

"Lifestyle business" is really an HN derogatory term for what most people would just call "financially successful business" ... that may not have ever promised to solve world hunger with a crud application.

Here in Indonesia for example 70% of the nation is self-employed and the per capita GDP is <10% what it is in the US. However, the poorest Indonesians in Jakarta generally have more secure access to food and housing than a significant chunk of Americans.
