NL is too densely populated to live off the land, and the cost of living is rather high, so I'm not sure how you're doing it. But as long as you're not on welfare, don't have kids in school or use other tax payer funded facilities, I'm totally fine with your choice. It just wouldn't be my choice.
What also helps is that I don't hate my job. Maybe you just chose a career that didn't make you happy. Isn't there another kind of job that would make you want to work more?
- mvanvoorden 11y agoWe're not meant to 'do jobs', so none would make me happy :) The only think that makes me happy is doing what makes me happy, which currently is travelling and finding a place to start a village according to my philosophy and then doing it in such a way that it attracts more people, including professionals in all possible fields. A society built on cooperation instead of competition and where concepts as career and job do not exist and work is only done because it's necessary, not because some virtual concept (like money) makes it necessary just for the sake of keeping this virtual concept in place.
- timwaagh 11y agomost jobs are not fun. if it was fun somebody would do it for free. other than that welfare is indeed generous. the state subsidizes rent for those with less money (this and the tax system makes full time employment almost a waste of time). living is not that expensive when the typical lunch is a few slices of bread. a lot of people don't even own a car.
