So have you kind of 'opted out' ?


Yes indeed. Not only do I decline to take part in the Rodent Races, I do
not take an undue interest in others who remain 'runners'.

If you have how did you do it?


I was a good girl and saved all my centesimi. I adopted a lifestyle
more attuned to need than greed, but still with sufficient (ok, lots of)
creature comforts. 'Wanting' is an illness which is quite curable.

Cashed in a business


No ... I did not have one to sell.

Early retirement


Sort of ... I withdrew from employment and I am now 'of independent
means' (and not a burden on the state) although that should be more
accurately portrayed as 'I am now an independent peasant'.

Lottery win


I do not partake for two reasons - I generally do not gamble (that is a
way of life rather than a rule ... I can buy a ticket if I want to).
The other ? Well ... I do not want lots of money ... I could have
stayed at work and got that.

Inheritance


I have no ancestors, with or without money.

Crime


What I have I earned legally, and indeed morally LOL.

Fantasy - you really work in a cafe in Newcross?


(-:
I only do work which is unpaid, is at my computer, and does not
constitute employment by another party.

I'm intrigued.


Apparently so. I am even more intrigued that anyone would be intrigued
enough to enquire (-:

Gianna, maybe it's your mutual appreciation of Neil Young, or just the way
you position your webcam. No seriously, you seem fairly young have a lovely
low-paced lifestyle all within such a wonderful setting. It sounds heaven.
Whereas I, am a prisoner of Zydenham.
