So the way I see it, there are three paths available to me at the present time. These are:

1. The wage-slave path
2. The “nothing” path
3. The self-employed path

Number 1 is out because, as I mentioned, there is no way I will go back to the spirit-crushing world of the wage-slave. I will do whatever it takes to avoid that.

Number 2 is also out because that is just not me. I need to have a little stability. I, at least, need to know where my next meal is coming from and where I’ll be hanging my hat for the night. I suppose I could stay with friends and family, but I need my independence and self-respect – that is very important to me.

So, that leaves me with option 3. Ideally, I would like to find something that would, at least, support my meager requirements. I don’t need much, and I don’t want much – just enough to survive independently.

It would be naive of me to think that this is the easiest path – it certainly is not. However, it seems to be the key to providing me with everything I need. And what I really need now is a source of income that is entirely location independent.
