I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.
But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.
My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.
I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.
That’s kind of the point, though. The fact that you can’t just…live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.
That sounds wonderful. I often fantasize about living on a mountain side in a cottage with a porch where I sit with my wife on a crisp morning, just enjoying the sun rise, a coffee and the comfort of being in the moment with my closet ally on earth.
I wish I had the money to do that someday.
I congratulate you and your wife to make a dream come true. I believe, if you long so much and can make it happen, it will be worth it and it is something to work for.
Sorry to mislead, we are far from the dream. But we have a plan at the very least and we can, for the first time, really see a path to get there. We still have years and years to go.

this part sadly only works, if you’ve already worked your ass off beforehand.
Have you tried being born rich?
Meh, you can be pretty middle class and afford to take a month or two off of work.
I could do it with my PTO if I really wanted.
“worked your ass off beforehand”
Criticism potentially not valid if you’ve tricked a corporation to pay you to shitpost.
👌👍 cope with the reality that 30% of the country are home owners with wealth and not living week to week.
The best part is there’s a lot more ignorance and disingenunity in the statement than that.
Unless he’s just saying homeowners don’t work hard for what they have.
That’s what it’s being addressed. That a middle class exists and can and do take a month off at a time. They went off into left field. Try to keep up.
Most people aren’t middle class.
