Some thoughts I´ve been having recently...and to be somewhat agreeable with OP...

The premise of basic passive income to elevate worries.

Let´s say you take a job and save 30k a year. Through capital investing/flipping/hustling/freelancing you can grow it twofold or more.
Now you have $200k of net worth in the bank. 5% yearly passive income. This might take 2-3 years.
You are retired and free to do what you want.
So in the beginning trading time for money can be beneficial, if your leverage is big enough.
Making 20k/gig isn´t too shabby.

Everything you make after this is FU money, money you can put into your fastlane business with NO risk.
Let´s say your goal is 5,5m in net worth.
To retire our parents, to travel wherever we want, to buy what we want.

Building a fastlane business takes
1. Time
2. Risk/Money
(3. Time to learn skills)

But because you have basic passive income, it´s less risky.
1. Working on the fastlane business becomes optional
2. Because you are secure, you aren´t time bound
3. Time for health, friends and family
4. Everything above your base capital(200k) is FU money for the fastlane business

Maybe this is upside down, but this is how I see it. Less stress, less risk, more happiness.

Additionally...to compare with Maslow´s hierarchy of needs, hypothetically:

Physiological Needs: Enough money to survive
Safety Needs: Basic Passive Income + Health
Love and Belonging: Friends and Family/Loved Ones
Esteem: Fastlane Freedom
Self-Actualization: Do What You Love
