RE: In the grasp of job-anxiety

in #job5 years ago (edited)

You write beautifully, and that's a very moving post. I hate to sound, Idk... But I really relate to how you feel. Both my wife and I talked about this modern problem long before we were married. And it took us quite a few years to find a solution, and even longer as you say to start on our journey towards freedom. Financial, and otherwise.
We moved to Portugal a month ago, and would like to offer a way out, an economic practical model to live life free of the economic anxiety we all know too well.
If this interests you, @eco-alex wrote a great post about the idea.
I don't know you so I don't know if it will speak to you, but I believe in this project enough to bet my sons future on it, so I owe it to you to share the information. Please feel free to do with it what is best for you.

Hi @orlev , thank you so much for the understanding and the encouragement. It is nice to hear about you guys taking charge and doing something about your life situation. It is along the same lines that my husband and I are thinking. We have investigated the One planet development scheme in Wales, are thinking about self-builds and going off grid, tiny houses and all that. It all stil requires money, so here we are, paying our dues... hey ho.
I will definitely follow your journey in Portugal! It sounds very interesting, and I will read up on the whole eco-village project. It is still a bit abstract to me how the whole economy of it will work( I still really don't get how Steemit works either...), but it sounds like a good way of life! I had a peek once at prices for land and housing in Portugal and it seems like you can get a lot more for your money, especially in terms of land, than compared to England and other such countries.
Thanks again for reading and reaching out. Much obliged :)
