I was just the sort you’re talking about.

I did contract work so I could stay traveling and lived on money I made in previous full time jobs. It was a very nice way to live compared to the 9 to 5 even though I made less money.

Having enough money to live the way you want is all you need. Hostels are fun.

But in the free time I had, I did end up making a SaaS that set me up very comfortably for the rest of my life.

Cynicism will keep you in your 9 to 5.

This must be a troll.

Even if your story is true, you can't believe that's generally good advice.

		> This must be a troll. Its funny cuz what he describes is basically my story as well. I lived to travel and took on substandard contracts to get by for awhile. eventually met my cofounders and now I'm living comfortably on a descent salary with a saas that I built. Hopefully I can keep this going indefinitly.

		I guess my implied advice is to live the way you want even if it means making less money than you could? Yeah. I’ll own that. Believe it or not, you're on a website where a lot of the readers build stuff. And quite a few find success.
