As jrk_ said, when I'm pursuing something for myself, I don't consider it "work". If I did, I suppose I'd have to consider putting food in my own mouth, brushing my own teeth, etc, which is absurd.
I've always found it strange we all "go to work" to earn money, then trade that money for the things we actually need like food and shelter - and sometimes some wants like entertainment.
The problem with using money as a middle-man is that it's very inefficent, because everyone along the line takes some. i.e. taxes, inflation, greed of your boss/company, the bank, etc. etc.
I aim to simply cut out the middle man and directly get what I want, which turns out to be way more efficient, i.e. takes way less time, which means I will have way more time to do whatever I want.
