I agree with this so much.

I'm not your level wealthy, but I don't work, live comfortably, and I'm happy.

I prefer not to eat at expensive restaurants, but I enjoy restaurants that serve good food. I don't really want to fly to an expensive city and spend lots of money. I'd rather spend time in nature, hike, try to ID plants, and spend time with my wife and our animals.

Yeah, that’s pretty much our schtick too - we live off grid in the boondocks of Portugal, and our idea of a holiday is to go spend a month hiking somewhere or other. Spend my days hauling gravel and digging pits. It’s good.

Really? What a coincidence. Where in Portugal? We live in the Algarve near the border with Spain.
