So, in my circumstance, I had 2 kids with a 3rd on the way when I made that switch. But I also had a nest egg and an extremely intelligent and wonderful wife to lean on for that transition. I feel your pain because I know the same struggle you are facing. In a fair world, I’d be a full time singer and writer. But the world is not fair. The “follow your dreams” boomerslop is just that—boomerslop. “Just get BTC”… with what fiat money? I am busy paying rent. “Just use Nostr”… well, I am. But I’m not getting zaps enough to cover my rent right now. I am not set enough that I can dabble and put in such time that I have for the things I love here on Nostr and elsewhere. If I didn’t have the wife I have when I made the switch, I would be where you are now and I would have been forced into fiat debt servitude like most zoomers who didn’t come from money. This is why I expect a Revolution. The more zoomers who keep applying to jobs and not getting hired, trying but failing to start their own businesses only the be regulated/shadowbanned/gatekept, and then they see Hispanics/indians that can’t even speak English in all the jobs they were “not qualified for” just last week… They will revolt.
