I work 80% for free (for myself), 20% for money (consulting, freelancing).
Free it's like a sabbatical. Whenever I need to learn a new technology I take a sabbatical, build a framework, then go back to produce income with that framework.
For example in September last year I took a sabbatical for learning Design Systems. My first paying customer came this August. This streak took a year, and I'm at the third iteration only.
When on sabbatical, I'm changing locations / cities / countries to be able to support myself during that period. When in production mode, I'm again moving to larger / more expensive places.
