Michael, I get your overall point as one who deemed himself "unemployable" in a traditional sense for over 30 years.
However, there are countless examples of corporate executives and greedy-ass politicians who have created massive material wealth. That's what most of us chase like lost puppies. It's the Rat Race I abhor.
However, most of them sold their souls in bi-weekly paychecks to get the material stuff, power, etc. that none of us can take home to heaven, hell, or anywhere in between.
Screw that!
Therefore, "live free or die" types like us, who seek and achieve freedom of time and spirit, find the greatest wealth of all; creative freedom and all the time in the world to do what we want when we want.
Keep up the good work.
