Buy rural land and live on investments while you start a small business. That's what I'm doing.

I think we need a monthly "who wants to be fired" thread where we share our progress on this.

This is pretty far out of reach for most people, unfathomable if you have debt and/or living paycheck to paycheck.

Which is crazy. Somehow simple living is a complete luxury

No, living on investments is the luxury here

Living on your investments, is not "simple" living.
