    Any time I talk about my hobbies, I get told that I have too much free time on my hands, and/or that I should turn said hobbies into a job/business.

    It’s like people are so capitalism-brained that they can’t fathom someone having a passion for the sake of the passion itself, and not making a commodity out of it.

    Also the phrase “you have too much free time on your hands” as a backhanded insult. People seem to abhor the idea of someone spending their time doing things for themselves instead of working. Or am I reading too much into that?
