		<description>Hey Petteri, thanks for the comment! 

Forgetting about money and living without spending isn&#039;t easy, but you&#039;re right, the more you succeed in doing so, the more time you can free for what matters most to you. And that&#039;s pretty awesome. :)</description>

		<description>Moi Jarkko.

Very good thoughts, I agree with you completely on this. It&#039;s almost impossible to start making money right away by doing what you feel the most passionate about, so it&#039;s better to not even try, just like you wrote.

When you start following your passion daily and working towards it by creating something you can feel proud of and doing the things you love doing the most, you will naturally start to attract the right kind of people and opportunities.

The most important thing is to find the courage to jump into the unknown, forget the money (as long as you have enough money to support yourself and your family), and take action. When you have a decent amount of dedicated followers, making money is not going to be a big issue, but it doesn&#039;t happen overnight.

The easiest way to support oneself financially when trying to start something new is to live a minimalist life just like you preach. :) When you cut off unnecessary spending (like 80% of all spending people usually do), it&#039;s really easy to do anything you want to without working 9 to 5, at least for the time it takes to create your own online business or whatever the ultimate goal might be.</description>

		<description>I know, I&#039;ve just started talking about them to my wife as well, but I think it&#039;ll take years to convince her ;)</description>

		<description>Thank you for your thoughtful words.  Your observations are inspiring and helpful.  I&#039;ve always told my daughter, who is a reader and a writer, that if she loves what she does for a living (writing), she will always be a success.  An extra bonus, is if at least one other person benefits from her writing, her writing is also a success.  Jarkko, thank you for being a success, because here is one person who benefits from your words.  You&#039;re writing is not in vain.  Thank you.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad you liked it Jarkko! Thanks for the mention. And I love the Tumbleweed homes also. I keep telling my wife that&#039;s where I want to move into next, but she&#039;s not going for it yet.</description>
