She mentioned that, get this, writers don't make a lot of money. Money isn't important to me. I just want to have a happy life, doing what I want to do. She clearly didn't get it. I have my professional dignity.
Money is only peripheral.
Only materialistic assholes care about money. It was youthful vigor and naivete, I suppose, the type of thing we grow out of once we graduate from college and understand the realities of the adult world . Perfectly acceptable, unless, of course, you never grow out of it. Most of my family has warned me about this, and, if you go searching through the archives of this interminable series, you'll find that I even warned myself about it. Now, people say they're flat broke all the time, but I never believe them.
