Trying to get to know the community a bit more.

If you want to share figures (you don't have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

I am. I make about 120K to work from home, and do maybe 10 hours of actual work a week. Rest of it I'm just dicking around on the internet or playing video games.

However, in my city, when I socialize, people seem to think I am living in poverty, wasting my life, etc. Apparently I'm suppose to be working 60 hour weeks to make 200K+, and live in a million+ dollar house and all that crap. IDGI, but that is the attitude in my city.

My dream was to be a professor, but I realize that making 60K and working 100hr weeks was not a recipe for being miserable forever.

That sounds like the dream. What field are you in?
