POV: You Lost Your Job — Then Realized Your Salary Was No Longer Necessary

He was told not to waste his 20s on a “hobby.” Four years later, that hobby, a $28 plastic washer hinge, was out-earning his paycheck. In this POV, you follow Elias as he turns down the lake cabin, the team-lead title, and the approval of the people laughing at him. He builds one boring product, fails publicly, refunds every customer, and starts over, until his salary becomes just a number he can take or leave. Would you keep building the boring thing while everyone you work with laughs? Tell me in the comments.
