I lived a lot like this during the 2008 recession. I was always looking for work, but there was none to be had. So we spent all day watching arthouse DVDs from the library, having sex, cooking, making art, and talking philosophy in our 250 square foot apartment. At times, it was truly beautiful.
However, there came a time after a year or so where the money really ran out and we got evicted. The relationship imploded and it all went to shit.
My takeaway is that, for long term happiness, stability is important too.
Absolutely.
