That’s reasonable advice, but it’s hard to pay the bills when you are off getting Zen on yourself.

And likewise, it's hard (though I guess not impossible) to achieve that Zen when you can't afford food or shelter. Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all that.

I understand what you say, the world is not fair and some of us, including me, have started from zero and should have basic needs in our life.
However, I don't think spending time, for instance, 30-60 min a day for things we love to be hard
I call myself constant learner, some years ago I said if Japanese people improved their country through small changes rule (10 min a day) what if I spend 1-3 hours a day for things I really love to follow?

Money comes at the right time if you go the right path in your life. Don't think about money, think about the path you want to go, a path you would be happy to go and money comes in its right time
Choose "infinite" goals in your life, and follow them.
