I also didn’t want to work at a job where all I cared about was getting a promotion and a raise every year, and when you live in a big city, it can feel like that’s all there is to work toward. More work, more money, more stuff. I didn’t want any of it. And now, I didn’t need any of it. All I needed was to make enough money to live, save, and occasionally travel, and the shopping ban showed me exactly how much that would cost.
