Sue: Yeah, I think you've got a point about being flexible. To be honest, I have some ideas of what my ideal life would look like, but I can't really know if I'm there until I'm on the inside living it. Mostly, I just know what I don't want - stress, an office job, to misspend valuable time and energy, and to live an ordinary life. I don't feel like I can wait 10 years to get address those things, but I can accept a 10 year journey away from them. Just so long as progress is being made. I really wish there was some step-by-step guide - or guideS - to self sufficiency! "Given you build
this kind of house and find land in
this price range and have
this many people working to make it happen and devote this much time to it each week,
this is approximately how much money things will costs, and
this is approximately how much time each step in the process." Wouldn't that be fantastic?! I feel like a lot more people would have the courage to leave the system if something like that existed.
John: "Any day I can cross a big item off the list is a good day." That's a great attitude to have and one I need to work on in myself. Often, I have so many things I want to do, I get overwhelmed deciding which is the best or most important, and I end up accomplishing nothing. I'm your typical air sign, preferring to plan and come up with ideas rather than actually acting, but sometimes you really do just need to get started and accept that mistakes might happen.
Leila: Very cool! Thanks, Leila.
