Excluding love, 3 key conditions have a great chance to highly contribute to my hapiness - I believe:
1) health
2) spare time
3) money
When I was a student I was young with plenty of time, but not much money. Then I started working (which I'm still doing) and getting more money but - ops - I'm experiencing a dramatic lack of time due to my full time job. Finally when I'll retire, I'll have a lot of spare time to enjoy the money I saved in a lifetime, but... too late, I'll be rather old. I think this is not fair. And this explains why "downshifting" for me.
Why "now"? Well, setting the conditions to actually achieve freedom from my job while remaining reasonably wealthy will take a loooong time (if it will ever happen!). So I (we all) must implement a strategy to enjoy life NOW while still working and progressively get more of the 3 key conditions listed above.
I'll post tricks, tips, thoughts, successes and failures (hopefully not many) along my journey towards "downshifting".
1) health
2) spare time
3) money
In other words having the time and resources to do what I like while I'm relatively young and healthy. I realized these three things are not likely to happen at the same time in any stage of my life.
