This is the first day of the work portion of a new grand experiment. I’m back to living the questions, done with mindlessly going along with an easy path.<\/p>\n

My primary goal right now is to create a livable income independent of a job before the end of the year. Of course, livable here in Thailand is much more achievable: I need about $600 per month for a basic-yet-comfortable living.<\/p>\n

I’ve just signed a six-month lease on a beautiful apartment with my girlfriend of two years. If things work out well for us here, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to re-sign the lease at the end of April for another year. For me to feel financially successful by April, I’ll need to be earning $1500 or more per month. That seems big right now, but knowing that others have done it in less than two months, I know it’s very feasible.<\/p>\n

Other than that, I want to have a good time here. One of my best friends from college (university to you Brits) is here, and he’s introducing me to the freelancer social scene. I also want to get more fit and healthy… I guess that’s about it.<\/p>\n

Thanks to http:\/\/swediepi.com\/ for inspiration in living this freelance life in Chiang Mai and also to http:\/\/liveallofyou.com\/ for an idea about how to measure the quality of your life: are you living all of your best self?<\/p>\n

So, completely soft, that’s the goal for being here: I want to live more of myself.<\/p>\n
