I am 33 and I could retire tomorrow if I dared to!
All I need to do is sell my 100 sqm(1000 sqft) house, sell the car and then rent a 1 room apartment in the city for about a 1/3 of my current living costs. I am not a materialistic person, all I want is a roof over my head, heat in the winter and a couple of meals a day. I have no desire to own anything other than a bed and a computer.
I have lived in my house for about 2 years and while I like the privacy of a house. Maintenance and gardening is definitely not something I care for. I built this house from scrath with my own hands and it took me almost every weekend for 3 years.
I am really really really tempted to sell the house in order to liquidate and live. However, it feels like my mom and dad would not approve of me selling the house. I had a lot of help from my father building the house, granted I have also helped my father build a couple of house which they sold. But I feel I have some kind of obligation and guilt to keep the house. Even though owning it forces me to be miserable and chained to a job.
