Would you rather: Make a lot of money doing a job that makes you miserable or barely make ends meet doing something you love? Thoughts?


I left a job that was highly paid, to run a bitcoin farm, and so far i dont regret my choice.
Profits are alot smaller than i thought, but i make it up by doing more btc-related stuff.
On a positive side, im with my family most of the day

I'd prefer to barely make ends meet doing something I love, but it's a bit more complex than that. What if you can't make ends meet that way? Tongue

Barely make ends meat and it's not even close.

The hardest part is finding something you love though. I don't think that's easy at all. Finding something that interests me for a short while is not hard. But something that I truly love and want to spend my life doing? Not so easy to find.

So, I just gotta figure out how to make money sitting on my couch watching TV.....and I'm set for life!!! It truly is what I love to do Smiley
There are people doing that already. lol they start online blogs and write reviews for TV shows. You can also write articles about TV shows on review sites and get paid per article or sometimes they pay you for each thousand view!

There is also an app where you can make $$ watching Tv. I don't think it's enough to 'make a living off' but it's still something. Cheesy

You can also answer tv related quizzes and surveys and get paid for it!

I can't imagine doing something I don't love. I like to feel like I'm working towards my passion and actually building something meaningful in society.

Even if I have to risk starving, it'll be okay because you only get one life. Don't waste it living someone else's.
Right zolace..

can't imagine too..Do something that we don't want to do can make me feel sick n going crazy..

Wake up at morning, go to work n at evening come back to home then go to sleep..

There no meaning in this life if going like that .

I would always choose to do something I love rather than struggling in something I hate...I might earn less money but will be happy and content deep down..
I am not the one getting in the rat race for money and loosing my life...
"People who have the opinion that money cannot buy happiness actually don't know where to shop..."

This is a very famous quote and I agree to it completely... Money can happiness indirectly.. If you have money.. you can indulge in various things and fulfill your desires, otherwise you just learn to be content..
Well, few years back even I had this notion that one should do what he loves, but then its not necessary that he is going to be successful always... Love and money are two different things which seldom go together..

Probably 50/50. That would be the best solution for me.
Ideally, it would be nice to make a lot of money doing something that you love....Although, it does seem more like a trade off these days ...
Why not make lots of money, then after you have the money saved up, use that money to do what you love?
LOL it is a good idea. And if you know how to invest, you can always retire early!

Rather have a job I love that can make end meet.

Money can buy pretty much anything but happiness.

Well, I would choose to make a lot of money doing a job that makes me miserable... because once I earn a good amount of money, I will be able to buy happiness as well as love..
I once read a very enlightening post online. The post said 'There is always a way to make a lot of money doing what you love. You just have to figure it out.'

I would rather make a lot of money making other people miserable Cheesy No really, I would rather do something for the "greater good" something that benefits society and improves the quality of life, than something of little social value like selling stocks. Sorry Gordon Gekko, greed is not good!! I think that was a mistake...when avarice was no longer considered a sin!!

As Bob Dylan said "What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do".

So, nothing like doing what we like.

I can say what I will do for sure as I am doing it from quite a time :-)

I do what I love to do and even if sometimes I have bills to pay from over two months and I haven't got money to buy new things I do what I do and I believe one day fruit of my labour will come.

I was working for eight years in a job that wasn't my dream but was giving much much better money than I have now but I asked myself what is more important?

If I had my choice, I'd probably work the shitty job just long enough to build up a decent reputation as a freelancer (or until I get fired, whichever comes first), and then just focus on my energies on being a freelancer. A freelancer's income is pretty variable -- sometimes I can pick up a lot of work and sometimes no one seems to know I exist -- but it can work if you just remember to put your extra money into Bitcoin or something during the good months.
