Even if it provides an income that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve got an employer financing it or that they’re super well-off. Freelancers and contractors exist after all.
For me, an upgrade from 32 GB to 64 or more would benefit my work, but not to a degree that I want to pay current RAM prices for it. I’m not suddenly going to get 10 hours of work done in 8 just because the RAM intensive parts of my workflow take 10x less time because it’s no longer all happening in swap. It’d be more like 10 hours of work done in 9.5. Adds up over time, but also a pretty small difference to even account for.
A CPU upgrade would currently be more important for me though, that might literally save me an hour or two per day depending on what I’m doing and how much shit needs to get done. 5950x starting to look mighty attractive compared to my 3500x.

Saving 2 hours a week is about the price of ram in a month or two.
