I chanced upon freeganism when reviewing my retirement plans. I just left my stressful job and recovering from a stress-induced migraine. I wish to retire from work by age 45 but no concrete plans yet. I felt freeganism is a path to fulfill my early retirement dream. The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism opened my mind. Initially, I dumpster diving twice daily. Later reduced to once daily. Then finally every weekend only. At first, I only managed to rescue merchandise but limited food. Now, with some luck, I can rescue food, bread, and cakes to pack my fridge so I have enough to eat with my wife. I still pay for food when I'm lazy to cook as I hate cleaning up. Not anti-consumerism but not waste the limited resources we have.
This blog is to share my thoughts, ideas, lessons learned and emotions on the topics that I am passion about as time passes. Ultimate goal is to be an idler.
