Then report yourself to the police and have them lock you up!
No seriously, grinding MTT's with an avg buyin of less than 25$ isn't worth it. Fields are too big on Stars creating an enormous amount of variance which is just stupid to accept when you're counting on your pokergame to provide for rent/food. When you have like 12 months worth of living money in your bank account, by all means ... go grind dem tourneys and hunt big scores. But if you need a paycheck every month, forget about them. There is no glory in being broke telling someone how you had 6 top 18 runs at 20k scores this month but have no money. Believe me, I know!
You can always use some of your cashgame winnings to play some tourneys on the side. Like take some winnings to play Bigger 22/11/55 and Sunday Storm like one Sunday a month. You can play that off your rakeback for instance.
Listen I don't care, by all means do what makes you happy. But consider the fact that it is somewhat likely that you will not make any money at all for multiple months in a row when you grind MTT's. I've done it from November last year and gave up after WCOOP this year. I've lost like 5k in the process, had multiple friends playing the same schedule that lost more than 10k and I had multiple days in which I was completely disgusted with poker.
Since I've returned to cash I've regained my pleasure in the game, I've started making money and I'm even moving up in limits. Don't get me wrong I really like playing tournaments, but financially I am not in a place where I can handle the swings that come with them ... which (if you don't luckbox a big score) will result in you hating poker.
