I think I am in the minority in that I don't really care about being rich in the 'have millions of dollars' sense.
I am lazy and hate to do have to do things to maintain my life.
People don't build social apps because they love chatrooms and twitter feeds, they build them because they like the thrill of being successful and getting paid.
If I had a steady income stream of 50k a year (adjusted for inflation over time) I would probably never try and make money.. I'd spend my time surfing and disc golfing and writing fibonnaci generators in the shakespeare programming language.
However, that's not the case. Instead I am happy with the compromise of trading my time for rates that I would have considered absurdly high just a couple years ago while making low effort hail mary's at passive income streams.

Haha! I thought I was the only one... I agreed with you til your last sentence. I'm a fan of minimalist living and so I've made it work for me. I haven't really had to make that same compromise you're talking about just yet.
