I've seen the same attitude a lot of times. "I was an investment banker for 10 years but then I moved to Colorado and became a ski bum and I couldn't be happier!" Like alright man live your life but stop acting like you discovered some dark secret that anyone can reproduce. You know you ain't out here paying student loans.

100% - all my arty, bohemian friends have trust funds.

Most of my ski/hiker/climber bum friends are broke.

They are fortunate, then. I have known some pretty fair painters over the years--good enough to be shown in a local gallery--and they have not had trust funds. Some taught, some worked in printing production.
