I work as a freelancer with some specialized skills that command a high rate, and I live in a country with low cost of living. That means that I typically only work 2–4 hours per day (and not even every weekday), and the rest of time can be dedicated to research. Over the years I have managed to scan virtually every publication relevant to my field, so I don’t even need to make the expensive trek to an academic library very often.
