Mid-30's: I don't carry a cell phone, nor do I use email (unless temporary burners).
Nobody believes me, and even showing them my numeric pager brings doubts.
I had a recent court filing (probate), and it really surprised me when the official public form asks for both phone and email (which I did not list, and the filing still went through). Same with DMV/titling vehicles... why does everything think this is okay [to "require" personal information]?
I'm afraid the comment doesn't contribute to the conversation. This is a lifestyle that can hardly apply to anyone else, especially those in a relationship or having a family, so might as well just keep it to yourself.
What absolute nonsnse. Many people throughout the worlds (we're talking hundreds of millions, if not billions) live without a phone or email and are in relationships and have families.
I am very jealous of you. I'm on the same journey but not quite able to get there. However I have found my resistence to be the same - my friendships are relationships prosper much more than before I started in this path!
Good on you for living the way that works for you. You only get one life, don't let others dictate it.

Just so free not always being reachable.
