Here in NJ a typical middle class house pays 10-25k/yr in property taxes. But if you have 5 acres and sell a few thousand dollars worth of pumpkins you pay near zero because you're a farm. https://www.nj.com/politics/2019/09/how-to-cut-your-property...

Sure but that is taking a short break from your job/career. Its not like leaving school and never working.

The first 10-15 years I worked my ass off. The last 10 I've taken it easy so I'm behind on all the new tech. The problem is now I want to work hard again but my skills are out of date. Despite the "unbelievably Strong" job market I'm finding it hard to get roles.
