I have just read all the entries in your blog, and a lot of your thoughts and feelings are similar to mine.

I have been in and out of the rat race myself, and couldn’t really see a way of escaping it, but then a friend of my mine introduced me to the concept of no debt life, and the freedom it gives you — what an eye opener!

With that goal in mind I managed to land myself two 20 hour jobs, promising myself to quit one of them when I reached the land of the debt free. When I finally got there though, I was like a rabbit in the headlights — I was afraid to quit and enter the unknown — what if I couldn’t get another job? Eventually I got a bad case of burn out, so I quit one job and my contract wasn’t renewed at the other.

I’ve been being work free for a year now, and I have never felt better — I really needed that time to recuperate. Come to think of it, I think the symptoms of burn out started when I was around 7 or 8 years old 8o)

Sure, some friends can’t grasp the concept, but most are not negative towards the idea…

I have a web site running which gives me a little income — just enough to pay for the rent — and I plan to launch a few more soon.

I wish you the best of luck with your plans,
Nicolai
