From adversity comes strength ... and your mindset sounds right. Sideline earning ideas, and some my wife andI are going to put into practisde when we relocate to Italy in a couple of years time ...
You like working out? Well, walking dogs for owners who work is exercise and income... establish a routine and charge a few dollars a week per dog. Get 3 households and two days each per household and you have 6 days of work outs when you can chill and get your thoughts in order for the rest of the day.
Anyway, now following you and will keep track of your progress... all the best !!
Sadly, where I'm from that gig is already taken, although a fine idea.
Where are you moving from and why Italy? My plan is to move somewhere in Indonesia as it's dirt cheap to live there compared to here in EU.
Thanks for the good wishes and best of luck on your own personal journey to self-sustainability.
My wife is of Italian descent and has citizenship... and moving from South Africa it is not easy to get into European Union countries if you are not very wealthy, or if you do not have a highly sort after skill.
Indonesia people seem very community oriented and the country looks rather beautiful.... but too hot and humid for my liking
