DAY 5,000: Go to work

If you’re lucky, you will get a life-sucking, stultifyingly horrible job early on. Having a glimpse of something dreadful motivates you to aim higher.

People sometimes think of work as something that they have to do so that their spare time can be devoted to their real life.

But work isn’t just a way to earn a paycheck. It’s integral to your quality of life. Seek out work you’re excited about. Find a way to pursue your interests and be well-compensated for it. It’s no fun to be poor. Earn a bunch of money and spread it around.
