That's a really good question, seeing as how most of my best work came from heartache and pain. I guess it just depends on if you look at it from a financial stand point or a personal stand point. I was gearing more towards a financial stand point when I said "struggling musician" but you can have all the money in the world and still be struggling personally, which in my experience usually inspires a lot of creativity. And most of us musicians are "tortured artists" so it usually goes hand in hand. (:
