I want to make money to live, not live to earn money.

April 14, 2023 by Adam Mazek 3 Comments

I reject making money for the sake of earning them. My life’s aim is not to live to earn money.

I already wrote that I reject thoughtless consumerism. I do not want to buy new things for the sake of buying them. Money must help me. Still, one cannot read my statement that I do not wish to possess wealth. I want to be as wealthy as possible, like 99% of other people. Still, from the beginning of my conscious life, and since I realized that money rules the world, I unconsciously knew that I did not want to devote my existence to earning money. I want live to create, to leave something profound for posterity. Undoubtedly, many wealthy people have lived in every corner of this planet for ages, about whom we know nothing today. I do not want to be one of them.

I want to be Adam Mazek – the most prolific street photographer, writer, and blogger ever stomped on Earth.

Money must help in accomplishing this challenging task. My point of view might change a little bit if I had a child. While thinking about it, I can imagine focusing more on money earning because I would like to devise and bequeath my entire estate to my child. Still, for today (I wrote this text on the 1st of February, 2022), I do not have a child. Thus, I am focusing on my artistic activities. I do not see any reasons why I should stop doing street photography or writing texts until my potential child is born. I imagine myself walking in the www.adammazek.com t-shirt in frigid cold temperatures with a stroller and taking pictures of what I see.

Moreover, if there is spring or summer, I can imagine sitting on a bench with a stroller and writing new text. I have no doubts that I can cope with raising a child, earning money, and doing street photography. No doubt about it. Still, today, I do not live to earn money. It is a waste of time for me.
