its pretty swanky but i wish i was getting paid more (to do nothing). i feel like you kinda have to set aside like 500-1500 a month to punt on a bunch of meme speculations in order to have a retirement and i cant afford that rn

never turn something you enjoy doing into a job

i dont think theres anything wrong with turning something you like doing into a job. it only turns to utter shit when you are working in conditions that make it difficult for you to do that thing. i enjoy programming at my current job but then again i have very little oversight or management, just people to review my code sometimes

should have pretended to be transgender in 2021 and scored 6 remote do-nothing tech jobs while you fucked off to thailand or japan while never telling your employers lmao

I have a 100k do-nothing tech job and it's left me very bored all the time. Grass is not greener and in fact I'd speculate the grass isn't green at all.

I had a do nothing tech job and it was the worst period of my life. Since quitting and becoming a neet, although I'm worse off financially, my mental health has improved dramatically.

Hey now, I have to do like a whole 5 hours of work a week for my 125K/yr (remote) job that I got with no industry experience on my resume. Things are not so easy.

Would you prefer ample time and resources to what you want, and not want anything at all, or not have neither time or resources, yet yearning to do everything?

Making what you enjoy your career is a great way to cease enjoying it. A job that pays the bills can be done on personal autopilot while the money goes into making your life better.

Passions are fine but require pragmatic self-mastery to integrate with the life that supports them if you're serious.

For example I enjoy vintage motorbikes but having wrenched commercially I don't like customers so I'm my own wrench and did something far more profitable with an early vested retirement. That let me retire young, debt free and have large fun.

The do nothing jobs are actually jobs with things to do but you automated everything needed to do without telling your boss and now enjoy doing nothing behind their backs.

That's cause you spend it all. If you budgeted as if you had 150, you would feel roughly as comfortable, but you would be putting away 50k a year. "it doesn't feel like much" means fuck all. Comfort is log(wealth), it never "feels like much" because there's always something else to spend it on.
