Probably depends on your age. If I had 1M at 25, I would feel comfortable taking a risk. If I had 1M at 50, not so much.

I don't have a dream job. My dream is to be wealthy enough to not need to work. I guess that's about $10-20M.

I recommend that everyone really reconsider if a dream job exists for them that they'd honestly love but doesn't pay well.

It depends on your age. If you are 30 no family with a 500k cash on the side and know how to make the money work, you could probably do it.

Hi all
I’m new at this but I really want to including w how people are getting into the world of film, storytelling, and all around making magic. I’ve been following it all my life and I still spend most of my time making and writing stories through forums and Discord. I want to do this for a living, but I have little clue on where to start. I’ve already tried my hand at screenwriting, and it’s not all bad once you have a vision for how you want things to go.
