It’s possible that a lotta that is due to fear and worry and doubt. It’s one of life’s biggest changes. Often it involves a change in perspective too. Realizing that there’s more to life than working and earning and spending and acquiring and consuming can be quite liberating.


Well said. Since cutting ties with the "stable" world of employment I've come to see how easy it can be if you go about it the right way. I also think many would be more happy if they did the same. It's not a way of life for everyone but I do believe more folks could do it if they tried. It fits me very well.
