Could join those in the slow life, invest in passive revenue streams, and keep cash burn rates minimal. You will be fine avoiding debt-based indentured 1980 metropolitan cultures.

Learn to play a cheap instrument, garden vegetables, paint miniatures, volunteer at pet shelters, or travel to odd destinations. Play the long game, and remember to have fun.

You owe corporate nothing outside what they paid for... and not a cent more. =3

Passive revenue streams are dependent on someone else not having access to those passive revenue streams.

Yes, it would be great to be free of debt, but for me it would have to mean moving away to somewhere real estate prices are not only low, but dropping for all too understandable reasons. And also a huge distance away from friends and family. There's a reason people mostly don't do this, and it's not that they feel a moral obligation to corporate.

		>Passive revenue streams are dependent on someone else not having access to those passive revenue streams. I think many assume it is some sort of zero-sum-game. This simply isn't how most unique successful product and service based niche businesses operate. Most firms that directly try to hyper-scale their way into market dominance simply fail within a few years. The smarter bros often cash-out after the IPO these days. Some people do feel entitled to others free time, and post-unknown-risk capital investments. Those folks can't help anyone succeed at anything except bankruptcy. =3

Sounds great. So how exactly do you get started with that, then?
