Living frugally and swapping creature comforts for free time.

Then occupy yourself with something you love, but not alcohol, tv, drugs, sloth etc. as this will probably lead to depression / addiction.

For HN stereotype that could be coding the side project which is always more fun than coding at work, even though it is still bashing keys and occasionally swearing at the monitor.

What do you mean “swapping creature comforts for free time”?

What are some examples of creature comforts here? And what does it mean to “swap” them for free time?

I understood the rest of your reply.
