A loner's dream. [View all]

[font color="black" face="Arial"]

Some days I don’t leave my apartment. Indeed, it’s not uncommon for a few days to go by without my feet touching a sidewalk even once.

What am I doing in there? I’m working a fulfilling job. I’m buying a new pair of super bass headphones. I’m eating fresh sushi. I’m talking to and laughing with friends from Canada. I’m watching the latest Hollywood films. You know, just regular everyday stuff that people typically do outside the home.


[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]This is an amusingly written little article that almost perfectly describes my happy loner existence. While I do have a little patch of garden that draws me outside into the sunshine daily, I don't actually have to go anywhere more than once a week or so.

Actually, I'm even one step ahead of the author in that I already do most of my routine grocery shopping on line with a local chain and have it delivered. It's awesome.

Excellent article: [font color="black" face="Arial"]http://www.psmag.com/business-economics/how-long-until-i-never-have-to-leave-home-again-63905
