I reached financial independence a year ago, and left the workforce. I just love my new life. I have not missed the rat race for one second. I love the outdoors and I continue to learn and grow. A simple life and time freedom is pure joy.
Ohh I could only imagine how happy and satisfied you are now.. this is my dream also to achieve financial freedom and then left the work but my current situations in life I am not sure whether I will get this satisfied life or not.. but happy for you friend ❤
Great for you man, however i dont think you really need to be financially independent, as long as you are cutting expensenses on living and only buying things u need. U can still have like 20-25 hours a week in a job u enjoy and live life.
It definitely is nice to have a partner who's on the same page. I have a 30-hour work week, which is slightly longer than his work week, and we work together to live simply. 😊
What a beautiful message. It's all about the steps and the progress, which do lift some of that heaviness off our shoulders, no matter where we are in life. Needed this reminder. Thanks. ❤
@@ASlowSimpleLife I just watched your rat race film. It was brilliant and sums up why we choose a different path for life. Have a wonderful weekend too!
Hi, (From India), Such a wonderful video with amazing thoughts on display. Your narration makes it much more pleasant to watch. It makes one feel calm. Also the idea of using famous quotes on simple living was nice. Well Done :)
I hear you and can relate. I also rent and work, so I understand the challenges that come with that. Living frugally has really helped me reduce costs and save, which has allowed me to create a life that works best for me. It's all about finding the balance that works for your situation.
Great quote from Seneca. Its sometimes hard to leave the rat race ; it might bring admonishment from some, but you have to go the path that's meant for you.
Good job for leaving the rat race. As for me I’m stuck. Yes i make a lot of money and I’m Able to afford luxuries in life, have a big house here in Texas yet my job and my boss is stressing me out , I feel imprisoned 😢
Thank you for your kind words. I understand how you feel-it can be tough when you're in a high-stress job, even with all the material comforts. For me, leaving the rat race was a difficult decision but ultimately rewarding because it aligned with what I truly wanted for my life. I hope you find a way to balance your needs and desires to achieve the peace and fulfillment you're seeking. ❤
Been getting a lot of videos about this lately. I want it...i just need to figure out what i can live without bill wise and how to cut back on utilities. My home mortgage is my last real debt and working on pitting more and more down on the principle as i can.
Witaj Suzy🙂 z przyjemnością obejrzałam Twój filmik o prostym stylu życia🤗 bardzo mnie zrelaksował ja też już zwolniłam i dostrzegam dużo rzeczy których przedtem nie widziałam bo nie miałam na to czasu...tak jak mówisz jest zdecydowanie lepiej żyć🍀 Jakieś fajne bułeczki upiekłaś🤔 Pozdrawiam cieplutko i życzę cudownego weekendu😎...Ewa z Polski❤
Hello Ewa, it's wonderful to hear from you. I'm glad my video had that effect on you and lovely to hear the effect of slowing down on you ❤ Wishing you a beautiful weekend as well 🙏❤️
We are financially well off. I still work 7 days a week and go the gym. My coworkers ask me why do I still work? Sitting at home watching TH-cam videos on my phone in bed while unemployed is not exactly the lifestyle you see portrayed on TH-cam of financial independence. But that’s honestly what most people do on there days off or in there spare time. So that’s why I still work
What you say makes perfect sense….unless you have a dream. I always dreamed of sailing a boat around Europe. (That’s what we do now - we are not rich, but we do it on a sensible budget) Those doomscrollers you refer to….the didn’t have the imagination to replace their work life with anything else. So Facebook, tick-tock and instagram filled the vacuum. That’s just not very intentional living. Gotta have a dream my friend! Close your eyes….see what comes.
Soothing video. Im from Singapore and in the process of transiting to the China countryside with my wife, tired of the rat race and totally agree with what you said. Which part of Thailand are you at? Peace.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! Wishing you and your wife a peaceful and fulfilling journey away from the rat race. I am in Northern Thailand. Peace and light to you 🙏
I like the last scene when you were walking through a beautiful shiny pathway 😍and i am Indian the very last scene where cows are shown for a moment i thought it's India as the cows looked like Indian Gir cow 😂 because of their downward ears😂
Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it. Oh, now that I think about it more and recalling the cows I saw on my lovely visit to India, you are right - they do look a little like Indian cows. They are so adorable ❤
@@ASlowSimpleLife I am glad to hear that you have been in India and liked it here. India is a right place to know about spirituality and how to live simple life because that's what our great sages gurus taught us from ancient times. If you could plz read Bhagwat Geeta a book teaches how to live life in a best possible way. It's a preaching given by lord Krishna to his friend and devotee Arjuna on the battlefield as written in great Indian epic Mahabharata.
@@Anamika-if5fh, thank you for that recommendation. I will look for it. Your county is so wonderful, and it will always have a special place in my heart. The culture, spirituality, nature, people, and of course, the food - it is truly one amazing place and I feel blessed to have been there. My husband and I plan to visit again, and to go on a motorcycle ride to the magical Ladakh ❤
I get what you’re saying-money definitely makes things easier. But for us, it’s not just about the money; it’s about embracing a simpler lifestyle that works for us.

What area do you live looking foe nice outdoor lifestyle
Great for you man, however i dont think you really need to be financially independent, as long as you are cutting expensenses on living and only buying things u need. U can still have like 20-25 hours a week in a job u enjoy and live life.
simple living and high thinking is the core principle of Happiness..
I agree ❤
We should appreciate your husband cuz he understood the situation and helped to build a peaceful foundation.
It definitely is nice to have a partner who's on the same page. I have a 30-hour work week, which is slightly longer than his work week, and we work together to live simply. 😊
@@ASlowSimpleLife I feel you are so lucky 😊. Wish you all the best for all of your future plans. Stay happy

Like your analysis about life work and rest it does really resonate the toxic world we live in and it's our choice if we want to unplug ourselves 😊
Thank you and I agree ❤
Thank you. ❤ You gave me more hope than you can ever realize!
I'm glad to know that. Thank you and wishing you well ❤
I love your recipes for dish and hand soap and the dish scrubber.

바쁜 일상에서 잠시 이런 생각과 여유를 즐기는 것이 필요하다고 생각합니다.
충분히 가치있는 일입니다. 특히 자연과 함께 하면 더욱 좋을것 같아요..행복한 주말보내세요!
나는 당신에게 동의합니다. 당신의 생각을 공유해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다. 당신에게 아름다운 하루를 기원합니다. 🙏

If you have a house of your own, everything becomes easier. But if you’re like me who’s renting, working is a must.

Love this. Thanks 😊

I agree with you - purposeful work and living intentionally makes life more meaningful.
What you say makes perfect sense….unless you have a dream. I always dreamed of sailing a boat around Europe.
