I think it is you that is focused on the money. I merely wanted to illustrate that money is no longer a driving force for me, without any relation as to whether or not the GP was doing what they were doing was for the money. Since they indicated that what they were doing was by choice, not out of need I assume that they weren't in it for the money but I'd rather let them speak for themselves.
The reason why I said that I'm not motivated to do another start up and I clearly indicated that for me making a living always was only a partial drive, the other one being that I like interesting tech, is that my health is failing me in many different ways and I don't have the energy for that level of engagement any more. So I consider myself very lucky that I don't have to do any of this. Though, if something really interesting rolls around (a few months ago that nearly happened) I would be sorely tempted but would probably still refuse. Because I know the price of running a start-up isn't measured in dollars but in time and stress.
Finally: you are putting a lot of words in my mouth and thoughts in my head and making all kinds of statements about me. You probably would do better if you asked questions instead of making all kinds of weird inferences.
I’ll be frank, I read your message carefully and I am stil pretty confident about the inferences I made. However, I see your point, my statements are too forceful. I acknowledge that I should have been more graceful and phrased them as questions. Thank you for the advice. Furthermore, I am sorry to hear about your health and I hope there’s a way for things to get better for you in the future.
