If you had the money to retire at 30, your savings would be invested and on an average year your earnings would cover your expenses. You would have health insurance, so no worries there. The only catch is that you would have to keep your expenses at 65% of what you spend right now. Would you take it, or would you rather work a few more years for a better lifestyle and financial security?

    I’m talking about the same thing, but separating paid work from voluntary work.

    Just because you aren’t working for a company, doesn’t mean you aren’t working for your community.

    You’re also probably contributing a lot less carbon to the atmosphere, though.

      Yeah, as long as it’s beneficial. I don’t think I’d count work where someone may be, for example, building tools to help the rich get richer.
