fame or money?

Let's say your famous to a degree! But your fame costs you money! Do you have no money for a long time and struggle to live in the hope of becoming famous? Or do you live well and don't follow that hope! Like personally I have over 100,000 twitter followers so I'm pretty well known yet one of my friends has chased their dream of becoming a figure ice skater for years! And had no money to fund their dream and nearly got to nationals but couldn't afford the admission so missed out on the opportunity! So does the argument relate to the wealth gap? Or the talents and skills people have? Or possibly the opportunitities in society ? Do you think these are all equal?

100,000 followers!? That's a really big number. I would rather chase the dream, yes I would love to have some money so that I can live comfortably and be able to pay off my bills but if I'm not doing what I love then I don't think I would like the money. Right now I'm in the same boat as you friend, I don't have money to be able to pay for stuff that relates to my career but I keep trying and hoping to slowly progress. In my opinion not everything is about money, but some people do get caught up in all the fame and shining lights and it seems that it's addictive.

In my opinion, i would say chase the dream rather than chasing fame or money because fame and money is not something that will last forever. They will be always someone who is more famous or more richer than you. So you should opt for chasing your dreams and living it like a King though you got no money. The satisfaction of successfully chased and living your dreams is something that can never be bought using money. We only have one live and we should live it as our wish. Cheers mate !
