I currently get paid to do what I’d be doing if I were financially independent and didn’t need to work for a living. The only difference is that now I’m building and fixing things for other people - whereas in that alternative scenario, I’d be doing it for myself. I’m enjoying it nevertheless. Right now, I’m building a deck while enjoying the sun and listening to the birds sing. I’m also my own boss, which definitely helps.
