Recent news reports say that the economy is improving because consumers are starting to spend again. Will this trend continue? How many FReepers that said "I'm going Galt" are still doing so?

"Going Galt..."

Ha! Where?

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."— Ayn Rand

Information is Power, sports fans. If you wanna go galt, you're gonna have to go off the database grid.

What I will be buying are commodities that I have to have and will likely go up a lot when inflation hits. As for earning; 0bamao said “I think at some point you have earned enough.” For me that point is just below the level the Feds will tax it.

One day, very soon, with some hard work and luck, we will drop off the grid.

Not a big fan of Ayn Rand, sorry. I already knew all about the philosophy of capitalism and individualism before I learned of her, and the rest of her philosophy is simply rarified stupidity.

After paying for food, fuel, mortgage, utilities and taxes there isn’t much left.
