I believe our ancestors "worked" 15 hours a week to keep body and soul together. The first two episodes of my podcast I show how I blended work, which I actually enjoyed, with projects and travel. Until my forties I was often criticised for not sticking at anything, always off on some adventure. I never had a mortgage or nice things! but somehow I did OK and mastered my craft without chasing the buck. If you want stuff though, you have to knuckle down. But at least on a Bitcoin standard the light at the end of the tunnel should get forever closer, not further away.
