Same as what my wife and I are doing.
Together we make enough in 10 hours a week to pay for our tiny apartment, 16 year old car, insurance, and healthy veggie diet. The rest of the week?
Well, this year we're ultra-marathon training, volunteer firefighting, backpacked the first half of the Appalachian trail, crew on a racing sailboat, and running a charity teaching apprentices how to be software engineers (got two into the industry in 2023). I just got asked to come be a helper at our fire academy starting next week which I'm very excited about.
We've based this model on that story of the corporate worker and the poor fisherman. https://www.reddit.com/r/simpleliving/comments/9yze06/the_fisherman_and_the_businessman/ https://www.reddit.com/r/simpleliving/comments/9yze06/the_fi...
- jvanderbot 3y agoThat's awesome, but I sincerely hope you are also saving enough to retire. Each to their own, but I'd work 20hrs vs 10, and half my career.
- JackMorgan 3y agoWise advice indeed. There's a fine line between "working to to live" and living carelessly. I would hope anyone attempting the same thing ensure they have a solid plan for the eventuality of old age and/or broken wrists, blindness, etc.
- kirso 3y agoThis is amazing, is there a place to learn more about the apprenticeship?
