Interesting. I could see how the opportunity of writing a substack and scaling it up would be much more attractive to folks that have a lower cost of living than somewhere in the Western world. That's a good point.

That being said, a lot of your posts talk about corporate burnout, no? Wasn't that your story? (Assuming you were pretty well paid, have no idea)

yup. It’s the only life I’ve lived so far 😂

I was well paid for a few years. But didn’t crush it to any level of financial independence due to sick leave from health issues and grad school debt. I had about $50k in savings when I quit and then broke even with income and spending for 3-4 years.
