exactly. It's a matter of perspective. I definitely made a lot more money working in a 'cushy office job' but...was it fun? did I enjoy myself? did I meet interesting people? well it had it's moments but I'd rather make 4k a month doing this than doing that. I don't need 250k/yr to call it a living, or to be successful.

although there's always those goals
