Public Transport, the UK, and On-site Work are for Poor People

I often used to work on laptops and tablets on the train and bus commuting 3 hours a day to and from the office in central London.

Then I realized public transport is for poor people.

So I wanted jobs I could drive to — like when I worked in Denmark and South Africa.

Then I realized that going into the office is for poor people.

So I worked remotely for years.

Then I realized that the UK is for poor people (and a tiny rich elite, like any 3rd world country).

So I emigrated.

Now I live a minimalist lifestyle as a digital nomad — almost like I’m still poor! …

…but at least I don’t give money to the corrupt UK government, which makes me feel a LOT better. 😎

Happy Friday to all my British connections, especially those still living in the UK, working on-site and taking that wonderful public transport in those long winter months. 😉

Seriously, when the rest of y’all going to get on with emigrating! Ha ha 😎

Even Happier Friday to those of you who’ve made it out (or were lucky enough to be born abroad such as in the US instead!)
