In 2020 , I withdrew from the rat race, and I learned not spending money is as good as earning more money. I have much more free time and my rewards are ice cream from the store, biking fifty miles, paddling twenty miles in a day, and just gardening or reading.

Yes, I have to be careful, but life is so much better
