I completely agree with this; however, there is another way to approach the situation. I recently went through almost the exact same experience OP did and decided to cut everything extraneous out of my life and take a remote dev job. This has allowed me to slow life down, re-focus on the things that matter in life and build up my bank account. THIS gives me the freedom to go and create and build and run whatever I want if I so choose. So, don't feel bad doing a job. Nothing is beneath you, and everything is always a stepping stone between where you are now and where you will be later.
