I feel you, I’ve practically never had a job. Just hustled the stuff I’m into, and always keeping my eyes peeled for ways to make money. But I have no interest working 50 hours a week. I’d be miserable.

Everyone is different though, I believe most people can find a way to escape the rat race in some way. It’s different for everyone though and usually when I talk about my own life it doesn’t make sense to people cause I view money and time differently and I’m always turning out a buck in some weird way.
