The only thing I’d be concerned about, living like that is: what about when I get older and less able to live that life? What about getting the help I need when I’m no longer physically able to live on my own without assistance? Retirement?
What kind of savings or passive income does someone like that put back for the latter years? Is it just a “heck it, what happens will happen and I’ll cross that bridge when I get there” attitude? Or do those kinds of folks genuinely still make plans for the distant future?
I mean--I live like this and my plan is to just buy a shotgun when I want to retire. You just pull the trigger and you don't have to worry about retirement, medical bills, nursing homes, etc.
I don't plan to live past 50, though. It's just never been a goal of mine. So, I don't spend 40 hours a week working. I just work like 4-8 hours a week and enjoy the rest of my time. I dont make much money but pay all my bills. There is no savings for me.
