Maybe, just maybe, there is something called a selection bias. And that for every person like Steve their 5 or 100 that become homeless forever and never have the privilege to post on a forum. Sure a lot of people at work are mindless people whose only desire is to make enough money to fulfill their chemical dependency (coffee, alcohol, and so on...). We who have all the creature comforts of Kings (relative to the past, minus the horde of concubines) may at times take it for granted.
As an answer to the original poster, why can’t you write a book in your spare time? Unless you want to open a retail store there are few reasons why you can’t try a business in your spare time. Also, doing it like this doesn’t sacrifice the health and future of your children.
