It's a Millenial trend borne of new financial pressures that Boomers and Gen X didn't have to deal with.

This is a good point, and I understand it, but I too have financial burdens (doing every single thing by myself with absolutely no help from anyone because I have no family or friends) but even then, selling myself out will not ever be an option to me.

I do things I like because they bring me peace. Doing it for monetary gain puts even more pressure on you, and then your few outlets of peace get caught up in the scheme, therefore you no longer have a healthy outlet.

It's sad to see either way. Money is just a made up concept at this time, just like time is. It's imaginary.

Life is too short. Just do what you can, and enjoy what little you can.
