Not everyone is comfortable living life with out guarantees. Having to worry about where the next paycheck might come from pushes some people to the breaking point. But some others choose this life and actually find it is the perfect way to live.
No clocking in – when you make a living without a job then you are only accountable to you.
Do what you enjoy – there is no push for a paycheck so you work at things that you love (which isn’t actually work).
Forget the holidays (or the weekends for that matter) – everyday is a peaceful break from the traditional grind that others are forced to face.
It is not a wise decision to jump into this life with out a plan. It is a lot like jumping from a plan without a parachute. Not much good can come from it. Before you begin your life of ease and comfort you will need to take a few steps to head you in that direction.
-
1. Create a budget that you can (and do) stick to.
2. Eliminate all debt.
3. Start doing what you are passionate about before you walk away from your secured employment (and figure out a way to get paid to do it).
4. Talk to the family because you will not be in this alone.
5. Create a savings that is able to pay your budgeted expenses for three to six months.
Anyone can step out into a life of retirement type living today with just a little planning and a lot of faith.
