That part you talked about choosing a modestly paying career over a lucrative one, I used to love teaching as a profession but the pay was what pushed me away... Cos if I continue doing it... I might remain stagnant for life...

Yes, we need to be practical in life too. What I dread the most is coming to resent my hobbies/passions because I've made them mechanical work to earn a living.

Sometimes, especially when we're young. It makes a lot of sense to build wealth first, before venturing into things that we love doing, even though there will always be sacrifices to make along the way.

Thanks for stopping by :)

I was a teacher for 7 years plus, I only managed to save 100k in Nigerian naira for working for 7 years. It's the epitome of stagnancy

At least you were able to save something, I was living from hand to mouth😁
