So today is a big day for me... For the last weeks I've been negotiating a deal that has the potential to set me up for life bit there's one catch.... Fucking contracts.
I don't like contracts, or lawyers, or "jobs". I enjoy my work, quite a lot actually but the contracting aspect scares the shit out of me.
However, this company is reputable, ethical, established but small, creative in everything they do, and goddammit they're fun... Also, the pay is ridiculous.
With these guys I'll be working with such capitalist brands as Lamborghini, Redbull, Marvel Film studios, and others. And although I'm not primarily motivated by money, there is mountains of it. Like Himalayan mountains of it.
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to sign the contract(s). There are two actually, plus a goddammed tax form which I have zero intention of ever paying. I'm going to throw myself into the work, and I'm going to have a blast.
I'll be debt free by the end of the year, can work remotely, and continue making enough to live my nomadic lifestyle forever without worry, as long as there is no global WiFi outage.
I'm actually super stoked at the possibilities, and truthfully they have given me a big out in that I can leave any time I want, no questions asked. I never got that guarantee from the government I can assure you. Those assholes still Hound me from time to time when they have a job that needs doing.
So curse me or congratulate me, it matters not because I do what I want. I'm still no boot licking statist nor will I ever be. And money never bought happiness, I know. But poverty never bought shit. I've been poor long enough I think.
Those of you that actually know me know that I'm terrible with money. I share literally everything I have (which ain't much) and if I've got it I'll likely spend it. But that's alright. I've got big plans to impact the world for good and I reckon from here on everything I make will go towards that end.
What do yall think? Am I selling out by working for a Hollywood commercial firm? Comment below and let's fight about it. Just kidding, I don't want to fight. But I am curious what others think.
