I agree wholeheartedly!!
Like many others, I did the same thing many years ago, saw the daily grind for what it is, it's really good to see a lot more people doing this too!
I live my life as an expression of freedom in many ways, happy to answer any questions, but fundamentally, I earn a lot less than I used to but also spend a lot less... instead of spending time at work earning loads of money to buy takeaway coffee, expensive sandwiches for lunch and other bullshit like that, I now make almost everything myself at a tiny fraction of the cost.
It's a choice, there's nothing wrong with being a wage slave, erm, employed, I know a lot of people like the stable regular income that provides, or at least used to, nowadays it's all zero hour contracts and other 'fuck you - you worthless scum' policies designed to intimidate, oppress and subjugate.
Fuck those fuckers!!!
