Fundamentally, for many it’s a way of Going Galt. Earn less, but with less stress. Earn enough to be healthy and happy, but quit working like a slave just so the state can steal much of it and give it away to those who don’t work. Hopefully, work less so there is more time to enjoy life before you’re too broken down to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Tune in, turn on and drop out. Go Galt, young man. Go Galt.
....”work less so there is more time to enjoy life before you’re too broken down to enjoy the fruits of your labor”....
That’s exactly what I did two years ago and never looked back. It’s wonderful I have to say! I now know what it means when it’s said time ‘is’ money..... I’m actually making more money than I did before!

Your post absolutely nailed it as to why I’m “freelancing” (or whatever you want to call it).
