For some of us, just existing is a crime in and of itself. It can be so easy!

I don't mind working, I just don't want to do what they tell me to. That's why I've been self-employed for over 30 years. I got real tired of moronic middle managers forcing me to do stuff I knew was stupid.

Both my sisters figured it out somewhat.

One sister is often on-call as a nurse, she answers 5 calls over 24h and gets paid a full workday's salary for it. Downside is it limits a bit what you can do.

Other sister speedran care worker to 24h disabled help night shifts. Found a person, established a sleep routine, she and patient sleep the whole night except my sister gets paid overtime salary for it.

Page 1: “Write a book called “How To Earn A Salary Without Working” and get people to buy it. The rest of the pages in this book can be used for sketching, journaling, or scrapbooking.”
