But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.

My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.

I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.

without any serious work

this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.

Have you tried being born rich?

That's kind of the point, though. The fact that you can't just...live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.

That sounds wonderful. I often fantasize about living on a mountain side in a cottage with a porch where I sit with my wife on a crisp morning, just enjoying the sun rise, a coffee and the comfort of being in the moment with my closet ally on earth.

I wish I had the money to do that someday.

I congratulate you and your wife to make a dream come true. I believe, if you long so much and can make it happen, it will be worth it and it is something to work for.

Sorry to mislead, we are far from the dream. But we have a plan at the very least and we can, for the first time, really see a path to get there. We still have years and years to go.
