    Well nobody is saying you can’t do other things too. Maybe youtube wouldn’t provide you stability, so you never get started.

    But now with basic bills paid, maybe you start youtube, and by the end of the year, you have $100 a month from youtube. And then maybe by the end of 5 years, you have $1,000 a month extra. And now you have your stable income from the interest that’s 25k a year, PLUS the extra $1,000 a month from youtube. And instead of doing something you hate, you’re doing something you love.

    Or maybe it’s not youtube. Maybe you start a band. Or maybe you make independant movies. Or maybe you do puppet shows at the library. Whatever man! The main point is, most of us do our jobs because we’re slaves to the system. We’re not doing what we love because we love it. We’re doing it because we have to.
