How do you balance this mindset with the cold hard reality that one needs to make money?

I’m currently unemployed and I am lucky to have a generous runway, but that runway will run out eventually.

The idea that nothing matters outside of family, friends, etc is tempting but I have made sacrifices in relationships with others and myself to be a more employable candidate.

For example I’m taking LLM classes on Sunday mornings which precludes me from interacting with loved ones. I can try to schedule things around that-but sometimes that isn’t possible.

I’m also working on other things, my health, my fitness, my spiritually.

Finding balance has been hard. I’m in a good spot now, but I do find myself wondering if my ratios of time invested are correct given the fact that I also agree that loved ones are all that matter in life.
