I live in Thailand and am very interested in working less for other people and more for myself. At first I though I'd need to invest maybe 500.000 USD and then perhaps I should be able to live on investments. But this video changed my mind, perhaps I should be able to get by with a lot less.
This Thai farmer claims to work about 1 hour a day and that 1 hour of daily work generates for him around 50 USD. More than enough to take care of his family.
Another interesting video from this farmer on "Sufficiency": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWwh5N0JRhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWwh5N0JRhk
- robbiejs 6y agoI love that man. Brilliant mind. I have lived a Digital Nomad lifestyle for 2 years and when I was in homestays on the countryside, I always felt relaxed and blessed. Just some chickens roaming around, some fruit you could pick. Simple life. Big polluted cities like Bangkok and Penang drove me nuts. One owner of one of those simple homestay farms quit his farming activities and became a taxi driver, on Lombok (Indonesia). Lombok just got a brand-new airport and they expect more tourists coming in from Bali eventually. The man became a taxi driver to make more money for "a better life". I get it. Everybody wants a shot to live "the dream" and you gotta start somewhere, but --> you don't know what you have til it's gone.
