RE: IFC S1 R32 - Freedom ... from a personal perspective
I think about it a lot myself. Seems the percentage of time spent just on meeting survival needs continues to increase.
Being self employed is an option for those who can pull it off. Most of the time it can be longer hours but more of a sense of freedom.
So right @headchange! Cost of living rises but income doesn't so our time is stolen as we become more enslaved! I was self employed for about 12 years, it was wonderful being free, but then I accepted an offer which I thought would be good for my family - with hindsight it was the wrong choice. My husband has been self employed for 26 years ... he alternates between feast and famine due to the seasonal nature of his business. Even so, I strongly agree that being self-employed is definitely the way to go.
It really is a feast or famine lifestyle for sure. I find the older I get the more I prefer to get by with less in favor of having some freedom at least where time is concerned.
Definitely agree with that. The older I get the less I have and want! But I still have to slave away to survive, which is what I'm trying to change for myself and my family.
