(simple ascetic retirement joy)
There is something so luxurious about sleeping till 10 – because you need to, reading the news with a cup of coffee, and then going about your day. For my whole life I just don’t feel right going to work before nine or ten AM. (One of the reasons I start and run my own companies.)
Similarly, I only lived on a working dairy farm when very young. But getting up early, working around the farm with people and animals you care about, sure seems far better for some of us than the preparation for, travel too, and ‘occupation of’ office space. 😉
Farming doesn’t pay today. It’s similar to the rest of entrepreneurship, in that you make less money but you’re at least enjoying your life, and not subject to the nonsense of others. 😉
Working from home provides the same ‘peace of mind’. So much of our lives is wasted in preparation, travel, and posturing time in central locations. Where, I would love it if most of us worked together, even internationally, working from home, with team members constantly on the equivalent of zoom.
THis of course doesn’t apply to those who do physical labor. But then, IMO those folks need higher income to pay for the ‘cost’ of NOT being able to work from home. 😉
