Where did he get money for food and shelter? I would have loved to live like this in my 20's, and I'm sure I would have gotten a lot done.. sadly I was employed, and when you take away 8 hours of work and 1 hours of commute time, you're left with zero hours per day, rather than 9. It was a constant source of frustration to me that I had to spend my useful hours following someone's instructions, instead of learning about the world, forging personal connections, and building beautiful things- which is what I really wanted to do.
