Codie Sanchez argues that following your passion is bad financial advice. Passions rarely pay. Income comes from marketable skills, not personal interests. She uses shopping as a humorous example of something she loves that will never make money.

Problem with following your passion is nobody cares. When did you get paid for being passionate? That mother. That mother is not real. If we made money following our passions, mine would be shopping. I'd be like, you know, every time I buy, I get paid. People who tell you to follow your passion have never made any money or have made a lot of money and want you to think they're cool. Your passion has nothing to do with your profits. People pay you for your skills, not your interests.
