This is the usual US centric nonsense where a certain privileged few can use their privilege to get out of the rat race, whereas the vast majority of the planet can't even get into that race in the first place, never mind hack it for these sort of benefits. I'm rather sick of the bullshit claims that there is no magic and that anybody else can do this too - this is patently untrue. You are ultra privileged; you lucked out in the ethnic and circumstances lottery. By all means share how you did it, but please stop intimating thats its at all possible for the vast majority of the rest of us to do this.
