I spent half my 20s (in various spurts) living off savings trying to do solo lifestyle business entrepreneurship but mostly just building for a non-existent audience and none of those stretches would have been registered as any form of 'employment', as I didn't bother to register any sort of business or have any income to report.
If you have a good job and live very frugally in a cheap COL area with roommates, cooking your own food, and no one else to provide for, it's achievable to only work half the time and live off savings the other half.
Wonder if there's a generation of men who have stints of trying to make an app, or learn coding, or make it big as a YouTuber or soundcloud rapper, etc. who don't show up in employment statistics.
- moris_borris 4y agoThis, this, this. When I first heard the statistics bandied about in interviews with this author, my first thought was the quality of the statistics (I won't refer to the numbers using the modern-day honorific "data"). Perhaps this is discussed at length in his book? I have not yet read it.
