And I agree with you. The main benefit of money is that provides concrete "proof" that you're providing value to someone, which of course I'd like to do. Of course it's possible to provide lots of value and get no money in return (or to provide very little value and get tons of money in return). Thanks for the encouragement, Lance!

If I could do what you're doing, I would. In a New York minute. If you don't have a need to work for money, then why do it? If you love spending all your time in music and there are no practical reasons why you can't, then go for it! I think humans have a tendency to pull themselves up by pulling others down. We also travel in flocks, like sheep. We do things, often very stupid things, because it seems everybody else is doing them. Don't be afraid to think differently. Dude, I envy you.
