The problem with the “work” answer is that they wanted to spend MORE time doing stuff they preferred to do whereas more work generally means the opposite if one doesn’t want to or know how to monetise the things that they prefer to be doing.
And then there’s the do they find the return worthwhile blah blah blah if they do know how to monetise because it usually starts off pretty slow 😆
You don't need money to have more time to do stuff, just money to spend more time doing stuff that takes money to do! :D
Well I guess I would like more money for that for sure XD
But then you get stuck because you work to get the money to be able to do the stuff that takes money but then because you're working to get the money you don't have the time to use the money to do the stuff XD
and that's assuming you don't lose most of it in tax which is what feels like happens here a lot
Like at work we got told we weren't "allowed" to take time off during the term; now obviously they can't stop us and we can just go ahead and whatever (or you know if people get sick or injured or whatever touch wood) but there's currently exactly enough staff to deal with what we've got, anyone going away for any reason (which some of the schoolkids have to do for school events and one of the adults has got something on down the track, all of them have given plenty of notice like months in advance) will make logistics interesting XD
