+44 Turning every hobby into a "side hustle" ruins the fun, amirite?

I'd like to think this isn't an unpopular opinion. I need some hope left in this miserably cynical world.

What? Look around you dude. Whatever this little bit of hope you have left is. I wouldn't bet too much with it. 😂

It depends on the person, some do that part too just for fun, not to earn much of anything, but yes, not all hobbies should be side hustles, if you want to then go for it, but some hobbies are better to just keep as hobbies.

If the goal is monetization, yeah. If you're able to monetize it because you spent years learning how to do it well, go for it. My wife makes a significant amount of money buying and selling things from estate sales. But yeah, if you get into painting of drawing with the expectation that you're going to be racking in commissions, you may find yourself disappointed.

In today's world, I can't blame anyone for trying to make a buck. It's rough out there.

If I dont monetize my bread, then how am I going to afford more flour? But yea, being able to afford flour just for the love of baking would be amazing.

So often when I show people my work they ask "What is it for?" "You should sell these!" No. That wasn't the point of this.

This isn't an unpopular opinion, this is common sense and commonly talked about

You don't have to, if you don't want. No need to listen to people tell you that you should monetize something you do for fun For some turning it into a side hustle is the hobby
