man i'm sick of exaggeration.

anyway , generally speaking I don't try to hyperoptimize for producing cash. I'm not a machine. I appreciate security more than I do squeezing the last penny out of someone. I'm frugal, and it works out okay for me because the time I dont save by not paying people is spent doing things I already enjoy.

what's the point here? why would you bother with producing your own business instead of buying one? It takes infinite time or something -- I don't know, I didn't pay attention in econ.

I don't know if it matters, or if you'll ever see things this way, but value isn't cash. similarly, but not exactly : cash isn't value. Some of us prefer to produce value over cash -- and that confuses the hell out of some people.
