This is a real dilemma that doesn’t get so much attention, I feel. Yes, you need money to live. Very practical, makes total sense. But what’s the cost of stifling talent? If people don’t have time to dedicate towards creative endeavors, that’s also a big loss
A lot of people worked “real” jobs and managed to concentrate on their writing, too. Some (again, a lot) raised families in the process, too! Get off your duff, my lad!

Life doesn’t put you aside, but it doesn’t wait for you either. It always has room for another passenger, just gotta step on, but mind the gap.

It’s bad when you reach your limits.
