Easy to say if you either:

(1) already have enough money to survive without working, or

(2) don't realize how hard of a life it would be to "flip burgers" to make a living in 2026.

We live very good lives as software developers. Don't be a fool and think you could just "flip burgers" and be fine.

Ah, I actually did flip burgers. So I know.

I also did dry cleaning, cleaning service, deli, delivery guy, etc.

Yup I now have enough money to survive without working.

But I also am very low maintenance, thanks to my early life being raised in harsh conditions.

I am not scared to go back flipping burgers again.
