Only if you have delusions of adequacy.

I've always lived by the 80/20.

Can you achieve 80% of what is deemed excellent with only 20% of the effort. Often that last 20% of "excellence" comes at a big life cost....

Lot to be said foe living and then working. Took me a while to work that out.

Not sure I need a "joyful living educator".

I would imagine as most of us are in the top 20->10% earners we don't really have to work that hard to be comfortable.

Not if you invest in BTLs and BTL property that you split into tiny bedsits.....
