RE: A Greenie on a Gold Mine - Part 3
i enjoyed reading the post from start to finish! man i never knew living in a mining village is that hard! i cant imagine sacrificing my time away from my family like that! thank you for sharing your story bro! i love it!
Welcome Andy :)
Some people find it easier than others. I met people that had lived like this for more than 20 years. I couldn’t imagine being away from loved ones for that long though.
I guess it all depends on how you want to achieve financial independence though. Then again, some of the people I met up there who had been doing that kind of work for more than 20 years also had nothing to show for it so I suppose they had just accepted that this is how they want to live.
yeah i agree. i myself dont think i can do that, being away from my family for a long time. yeah i think it also boils down to the type of person they are. some dont find it hard being away from their families while there are others who take comfort being with their family most of the time. it really depends on the person. thanks for the response my friend! see ya! :)
