I'm not off the charts wealthy, but wealthy enough that I didn't work for more than 5 years in my 30s, combined that with a career change and still was able to purchase a home. That may be a not-so-humble brag, but it's also unusual in my group of working class friends and demonstrates the level of privilege that I'm working with. I can't and don't want to buy a yacht, but I have a level of security and financial wrecklessness that has permitted me a lot of flexibility with the work I pursue.
I'm not aiming to be poor, but I fear it may happen. Really I do. How much is enough? Exploring that requires recovery. This blog is my attempt to document the struggles involved in rethinking work, income, wealth and personal/community experiments with action.
