You could argue you're losing money being on Hacker News, sleeping more, cooking, talking to a friend, watching a movie etc.

Life isn't all about money. Some people are happier with the freedoms they get running their own business compared to e.g. making more money working 9 to 5 with less freedom on what they work on, how they work on it and when.

Not only that, working for FAANG might harm your mental and physical health due to stress, causing you to stop working earlier hence lose money
