#2Interesting to contrast this with articles that paint the various delivery/cooking/cleaning/task runner services as a kind of mom-in-a-box that real adults shouldn't need.
Maybe being a real adult is an unwise investment of time if you can afford to do without it.

#4I have scaled back years ago: ditched the car ( does away with a whole class of problems/bills ). When I had a job no more than 32hrs. No TV, no cable. Do my groceries in combination with going the postal office, while biking/walking. I rent, do not own. Try to own as little as possible.
I call it the 'small life'. Lots of people in town know me, I know them, build a pretty social life.
I am not going back.
