I'd rather freeze my ass off working outside.
March 2019, got mired down in bullshit job in bullshit Arizona city full of retired boomers.
Decided to work the summer in Colorado mountain tourist town.
Zero local connections...cold-called golf course, interviewed, got hired over the phone.
Leverage labor scarcity to get 83% raise in four years.
Use nearby public recreation lands, sleep in automobile for free.

85% of earnings saved first year, decreasing to 57% in 2023 after boss provided me renovated apartment on-site for $500/month.
Three months in three SEA countries including all flights = $3611
One month savings on the job = $1900
Quit and took 12 months off in 2020/2021, decided to return one day, got 14% raise on return
It's all bullshit, but maximize the bull and minimize the shit.
