But you can only give up this amount of time for free if you have already made enough to live on happily, are in an extremely high paid profession that only requires a limited amount of time or are a Mother Teresa...

It doesn't actually matter what motivates you, everybody is entitled to have a reasonable standard of living (reasonable being partially dependent on background) and if your creative endeavours can't provide this then surely your creativity is stifled regardless of "Challenge, Mastery and making a contribution..." Sounds great but means damn all if you end up on a production line 40 hours a week to earn something to live on...

Working in a creative environment myself and seeing what my colleges are making in their sparetime, I agree with the above.
