Buy a smol apartment, save aggressively for a few more years, retire to writing fanfiction and flaneuring.
ETA: This is completely incompatible with having a Wizard in my life, who something something wants to live somewhere larger than 800 square feet and also to have a kid.
Sometimes I dream of the days when I only had 800 square feet to clean and no yard to maintain.
Do not miss not having a dishwasher though.
Somewhere nice? Iâm picturing an old world European country?
I had not even contemplated that great of an escape. I was all âa nice little apartment near [nice local park] sounds so lovelyâ but it could also be âa nice little apartment near [nice local park in Spain]â.
Maybe we need a divergent thread. âTiny escapesâ like a bubble bath and Netflix. Or a walk alone in the park. Or a few nights in hospital.
My escape plan is my state expands Medicaid and I retire the next day.
Spain is probably more likely.
Is this a depressing âUS healthcare broken thingâ and work provides insurance deal?
Yep. Poor people in my state donât make enough money to get a government subsidy on health insurance.
Tonight Iâve requested a bath and at least some of the night in my own bed. But really anywhere that doesnât smell of poo.
Best I can do is a bath with your kid and a 50/50 chance of someone doing a poo in it.
Nah, just did a poo partly on a book on the floor and the rest in the potty. AND since Iâm still only on one outside kid I can beg my partner and get a solo bath!
Injured cat canât be locked out though so still no privacy and might smell like poo
Oh yeah. Itâs fucked once theyâre on the outside. Well speaking as the one they were never inside of.
I quit and am now a completely location-independant artist so my plans going pretty well except no income from that venture yet and have spent money on it.
I now get a small amount of peace each day when someone else does school drop-off and takes both kids so thatâs nice.
Hello. Iâm reviving this topic. Because Iâve noticed a trend on the forum of people really need an escape plan (even if like totally hypothetical because weâre not going to blow it all up, fake our own deaths and run awayâŚright? RIGHT?).
What you got? Where you going?
Obviously Zi wonât dissapear on the way home from the library tomorrow and spend a few days napping and doing spa sessions
Fucking 8 month okd wonât even ket me shower or sleep more than 2h. 3 year old hitting everyone
Anywhere not bitterly cold.
Well, I also donât like it too hot.
Somewhere temperate. With good food and wifi.
Iâm running away to a town in the deep forest about 20 minutes from the coast, several hours south of here, and becoming a very happy cliche.
There is a ferry that goes down the west coast of Patagonia, between all the little islands.
Will you driving it?
How can you even ask that?
