      Not exactly. It’s about survival, or slightly more than that, making a living.

      If you get enough money to ensure that, you don’t (need to*) worry about it. But when it’s always too little, even slightly, it starts eating your mind.

      * that’s why very rich people are basically mentally ill.

    I started uploading videos of my cat, not intentionally trying to go viral, but because she’s cute and crazy and I wanted to share that with others. One of her videos did end up going viral and made like $160. She paid for her own food for a couple of months, not bad.
