“- People who have changed their appearance to look younger/different while job hunting or adjusting to a workplace
- People who have moved (especially across countries) to be close to their aging parents, children, or grandchildren
- People who are testing out different places to live/retire or have moved to a place for eldercare
- People in tiny living or micro-studio apartment (under 200 square feet) situations
- People who retired early and had it change their perspective in many ways
- Being married to someone who retired early or the child of someone who retired early (and how it has impacted your own life or plans)
- An unconventional living situation you sustained for a dream job (ex: living apart from spouse, RV near office, tiny home on family's property)
- Unconventional living situations, in general (moving in with in-laws, building a tiny home on dad's property, buying a house with friends)
- A big move that didn't work quite how you expected (within the past decade)
- Home renovation regrets or unconventional choices that paid off (or did NOT)
- A time you changed your appearance for a job/to fit in at work
- Moving for love or a job (did it work out or not?)”
