You mentioned shitty jobs and staying with them because Hive would only replace that income then you are still left with no investment capital. That I fully understand.

the only thing that changes is I no longer have to work a terrible job.

I have taken on what I consider a terrible job, just for the investment capital it provides so I can feed my recent Hive-Engine token habit. I have re-started trying to do the splinterlands daily quest. There is only one reason I do them and that is to get the SPS so I can sell it on Wednesdays and Saturdays so I can add to some of my Hive-Engine tokens.

In the long run it might be better to save that SPS but in the short run, it does feed my needs. So I go through the motions and feel my brain rot a little bit every time I play.
