Financial Catalyst

[AnthroHeart]

I think that the real reason I have money problems is because I am the consummate dreamer. I'm the typical bohemian. I'm extremely creative with no direction. I dread having a 9 to 5 job. I just don't fit into that mold. And maybe that's why circumstances conspired to me developing schizophrenia. I've had a dread of having a boring job since I was a kid. And it's gotten to a point where it seems like not even a creative job is interesting enough for me. I'm absolutely incorrigible.

so to you, having a job is the only means of obtaining finances?

I ask, because anagogy's point seems to reference that money can come from many places, not just working for someone else.

There are people on these forums, who have an income, and don't work for anyone else.  Self-employed.  Set the terms of their own work, and are financially independent.

I think the key to that type of success and lifestyle is being responsible for what you create.

But to me even that seems boring. I think that it has to do with having schizophrenia. A hallmark symptom of schizophrenia is lack of motivation. I tend to only have motivation for things that are the opposite of work. For example, just wasting time on the internet all day. Life can be pretty meaningless for me a lot of times.

I second that notion. But I do find meaning, even when my dog dies.
