I bet you could live on less if you wanted to.
But you would have to make some tradeoffs to make it work with 20 hours of work, live downgrading your living situation or moving to a cheaper place to live.
Now I am not saying that's good, I am just saying you can make 20 hours of work work if you really want to, but really people just like to bitch.
Agreed! Worked 12 years full time. Last 3 years lived in a small forest off grid, working 2 to 3 days a week. In the winter months I rent a room in a cohousing.
It's a different kind of life. It takes adjusting. The "luxeries" like no running water, electricity being very limited, etc are fine. I honestly prefer the simplicity. I prefer that making a coffee takes 40 minutes, from starting the fire, to boiling water. The ritual is part of the experience.
Most difficult is that friends still do the city hard work, hard (and expensive) play, constant complaining thing, that I can't relate to or keep up with.
Not sure if I'll do it forever. But the next couple of years for sure!
