Interesting. Can you please explain why you believe 1. is true? I know I’m not going to die if I stop working - I’d just become poor, and therefore less happy. If you’re suggesting a life of a farmer, then how is it different from having to work?

I realised I made an assumption. The assumption is the comment is complaining about traditional corporate type work.

There is a belief, that I have lived myself that this is the only way.

A different way is to say do a year on 9-5 and year off living off less money. Or work half the hours.

These alternatives aren’t push button they require a lot of negotiation and some work to set up for yourself.
