I’d like to be somewhere in between, ideally. If you made me choose between what I have now and 10 bucks a day, I’d keep working.
If I could, I’d work 20 hours a week for half my current pay, it’d be perfect! I’d much prefer to have my time than money. God didn’t give me enough time on this planet to waste it working. I’d still have enough to manage, but have enough time to enjoy.
One of the advantages to wageslaving though is that I can buy my own home and stay away from apartment complexes full of poor niggers and heroin junkies.
For context, I make about 45k/year after taxes and retirement, with potential to make 70k or 80k after a few years once I get my PE lisence.
