The true reason I left corporate America to bake baklava & clean toilets for Bitcoin was taxes. I don't talk about this often, but maybe I should.

I felt sick looking at my paycheck and seeing taxes deducted. I was angry about all the endless wars waged by the US gov via fiat currency.

I found happiness in a life earning much less, paying basically no taxes. I could be *much* wealthier today, but it would come at too great an expense.

Anyone else relate to this autistic as fuck way of living?

I refuse to work full time since having to go back to fiat mining - my times worth a lot more to me these days, especially since I'm essentially "middle aged" now.

Once I finish school (paying cash) in a couple years, my wife and I will be roughly half time in our early 30s. I think you have the right idea. Working to consume really just isn't worth it. I'm okay with my 11 year old truck and used phones!
