Why can divination warn of a loss if I invest no money?

By loss, I sometimes also mean spending time without corresponding compensation. No money paid out does not mean nothing contributed. Clarifying this helps explain the divination reminder.

Knowing programming and website building may reduce upfront financial costs, but these still take time. If finished software does not sell or earn, time has already been spent. The same time in another income-producing activity might yield more. This also counts as loss in my discussion.

A programmer friend wanted a personal platform and felt strong technical skills should ensure success. The reading was unfavorable and I warned of loss, but the friend questioned how loss was possible without spending money. I suggested keeping another main occupation and trying this idea as a side project when capacity allowed. Limited monetary costs still involve time.

Even with income, consider time invested. I once described a business requiring early rising, late nights, and hard work for thirty thousand monthly, while equally demanding alternative work might earn more. This comparison requires considering time and compensation together.

If unclear, ask directly why I describe loss without financial investment. Questions let me explain my perspective. Immediately dismissing an unexpected answer as inaccurate or interpreting it to fit your preference loses an opportunity to clarify the issue.
