I'm dropping out of the game by becoming self sufficient, dropped cable, land line, installed solar, drilling a well and etc. I've stopped working and contributing to paying income taxes. We make do, buy from individuals, grow our own food, hunt, fish, do our own maintenance and build or make things instead of buying. I just finished a wooden fishing boat. The one thing we do trade saved paper dollars for are tools, materials, commodities and silver dollars. For instance, a new sewing machine purchased on-line arrives tomorrow for mending and utility usage such as making a sail and bimini for the boat I built.
I've lost weight, gotten some muscle back and feel much much better physically and mentally. I haven't even had a cold this winter so I know I'm healthier.
Life is good!
if I ever get my mortgage paid off I would love to do that
off the grid, eh?.....sounds good...I hope to be done with credit cards one of these days, and maybe some day stop working and just live with what we have ...I hate working and paying for it with taxes....
