Too much more of this, and I’ll be about ready to go ‘off grid’. That isn’t very easy to do either.
Those of us that own property of any size and wish to go off grid, just how do we handle property taxes? Most counties are delighted to possess the property, sell it at “auction” to a well connected member of the local ‘good ol’ boy network’, and use the proceeds to pay your tax bill for you. Property taxes and what Imminent Domain has become have made home/land ownership into a joke. Their rulings regarding Imminent Domain and 0bamacare were two of the worst rulings by the Supreme Court during my lifetime.
Take your off grid refuge to a State or National park? You’ll probably wake up one morning, staring down the barrel of an MP5 and surrounded by a park police SWAT team that just love to get all dressed up to hunt down and exterminate people like you....
Off grid doesn’t mean disappear entirely. So long as you pay your property taxes etc they’ll leave you alone. They’re going to know about you somehow anyway, just as governments have for all time, so don’t be under the delusion of total secrecy. Just cut all expenses as you can, and use auto-pay interest-bearing accounts for the rest.
