First off,hello. Yes Im new here. I stumbled upon this forum researching on how to be more self reliant. I have always had full time jobs,and have never been happy because I spend more time making someone else rich while I scrounge and barely make ends meet. I have never taken any of my jobs seriously because all they are is a source of money to get by. Its not what I really want to do in life. I would love to have more time to spend with my family,girlfriend, and my dogs. The things that really matter. I dont know how this would be possible without selling my reasonably nice home and living like a bum. I was wondering if any one has quit their full time job to enjoy the simple things in life that really matter? Any replies welcome. Thanks
