Why assume he's rich? Maybe living in the mountains is cheap. Maybe he saved before moving there. There is some choice between working/consuming less and workin

  Well, he took a year long honey moon which he spontaneously decided to extend into 6 years. I don't think your average person could pull that off, regardless of how cheap it is to live there. Also the fact that he literally doesn't address how he can afford to to this, which is the first thing on most peoples mind, also indicates that he is so wealthy he is out of touch with reality.

  I don't assume he's rich. I assume he is a decent financial investor living in Delhi where a 3-bd apartment in the city is ~$700/mo. His reported annual compensation on Bloomberg is $105,000. While he may not be Warren Buffett rich, it's still substantial in India. I do assume that if he were living in the US at the same rate, he'd probably be working more than 3 days a week. I understand he's advocating for less work. Why do you assume he's advocating for consuming less? He could be buying new Jordans for every run he goes on. His couch could be rhino leather for all we know. Personally, I doubt he's advocating for less consumption because he sits on boards of businesses who produce basic goods, like food, paper goods, and He also sits on a board for an event production and marketing company. It's hard for me to believe he's down with less consumption.
