Bachelor life for me. Gave up looking for a wife over 20 years ago. Was literally nothing but women saying, "I don't want anything serious, just sex, it doesn't mean anything." Well, I don't do that, so waved the bat crap crazies on to the next poor SOB. Last I heard, each of those women had married and divorced multiple times and had multiple kids by various guys. Felt crazy turning them down but looking back, it was dodging bullets.
Work from home and have a few on-call things I do at times. Pays the property taxes and electric bill. Expenses are very low for me since I'm single. Don't go out much at all. The "lock-down" just meant that instead of wasting time in town I did more fishing and hunting (such a hardship /s).
Growing up I used to think it was horrible to have to drive 5 miles to work. Heck, now it's that far just to get to a paved road, then that again to the nearest dinky town with no worthwhile shops. 20 miles to the nearest big box, almost 40 to the nearest "computer shop". 100 miles if you need an apple product fixed (haven't used their stuff in 30 years). Yeah, things are a bit of a drive for the odd jobs I do (and the supplies for it), but pays well enough.
