Bad bosses are just intolerable. In fact, it often takes some sort of psychological disfunction to rise up the corporate ladder. Or you are endowed with such a personality due to cultural integration.

The trick for me was to reduce the bills. It isn't easy for most people. You'll find that you don't need 99% of the things you think you do need, and there are things that are free that you need that you aren't getting because you've got no time to pursue them. And things that are free that are just more rewarding.
I don't live in a city. I doubt I ever will again. There's nothing there for human beings, they're hostile to us, they're sirens on sharp rocks.
