Gregory's Server@neauoire lots of ups! :) yes I want to achieve financial independence doing this kind of stuff, which is why I need to figure out what works for me… I have so much cool stuff on the pipeline, but I need a way of working on it and also be able to eat. Imma try a couple of things this first 1-2 quarters, hope some of it works! Maybe in the future I can open source my stuff again, feels dirty not to, but I thing is what I must do at the moment

 @neauoire we dont splurge unnecessarily and live humble lives in general, but living in the city has a lot of costs we can’t escape. If my partner and I worked full time remote, we could get a little house 20km from the city and would be doable. As it stands, trying to buy an apartment here is 2-3 times as expensive as that… and part of buying is to pay less monthly (and half of that being ours). Plus we have family far away and traveling is expensive |
@bd the way we were able to do it, once we figured that we couldn't scale projects to bringing more in without going against our values, was to instead go the other way and lower our cost of living. You don't have to go as far, but it's good to remember when things seems a bit shakey, esp in the first few years. You got this ✊
