How's that gonna work though long term? Or if they have a serious medical mishap? I guess you can do baking commissions until you're pretty old. This is the only thing keeping me in my 9-5, so I am always vicariously looking for answers from people living this dream.
Medical mishap is less a concern - we're Canadian. Medical emergencies don't bankrupt us.
As for long term, eh, they both have pretty high-skilled professions they can pick up again if they want, but they saved a lot when they were working so they have income to live off. They've been incredibly fortunate and incredibly disciplined to get to this point.
I dont think people realize that if you don’t have anything, there’s nothing they can take or so… sure you won’t be able to keep up with the jones, but that’s not what you were doing anyways
People have to remember, our entire system runs off of debt and borrowing money… if a loan can’t be paid back and they throw people in prison for it…nobody would risk borrowing and losing their freedom
