I love coding because of the flow state I can achieve when I'm working undisturbed for hours. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for coding anymore.

Definitely do it for the money! But if you can find something you enjoy that also pays well, that's the ideal. Coding skills are in high demand and companies will pay top dollar for talented developers. Don't sell yourself short - your coding abilities are valuable. That said, it helps a ton if you have some passion for it too. Makes the work much more enjoyable and helps you excel. Best case is getting paid well to do something you love.

Of course I enjoy coding - that's why I got into this field in the first place! But let's be real, the money is a nice perk too. Why not get paid well to do something you love, amirite? ;) That said, when passion becomes obligation it can start to feel like a grind. So I try to keep a balance and take on projects I find interesting and rewarding, not just the highest paying gigs. Do what you love and (hopefully) the money follows!
