Analytical and abstract my foot. I was ONLY describing MY own, very
personal, very concrete experience about paying my own very concrete
bills and mortgage by doing something that's also useful to as many
people as possible. It's much, much less theoretical and abstract than
everything else you wrote in the rest of your post. And even if what
you wrote were out of personal experience, it would only describe half
of the story.
