yeah it's a living. I'm sure there's some free time in the winter but you aren't exactly going to retire early.

- QuarterReptile 4y agoI don't think you took away quite what I meant. The farming becomes a passion project or slow lifestyle or healthy living, or some other idea of all the stuff FIRE types are finally going to do after they reach their number. But instead of starting with a theoretically infinite runway, they launch right into the lives they want to live. The small farmers are willing to take the bet on themselves in exchange for not delaying the dream for 10+ years. Also, I'm really skeptical about the retire part of FIRE. It's less retire and more 'stop being the mythical human money optimizer machine of economics, which I show an uncommon knack for approximating.'
