@unsuspicious@deletescape Well it doesn't have to be "work 40+ hrs/wk or nothing". Just work a little. That's what I do. A full time gig pays triple what someone needs to be comfortable. So I'll work 1 year full time, then cut back to part time for a year, then take a year or two off; and repeat. Don't spend money like an American on shit you don't need.
@deletescape@unsuspicious BTW, most employers had no problem with me switching to part time. But I did have one employer who refused, and demanded full-time or nothing. Over-selling my time was missing the point of living, so I quit.
