it's hard to do
but you can pay no taxes
the key is no big debt
several of us in my hood own homes paid for (not McMansions) and make around $24k a year
take that mortgage and car note out and things get very different
we have come so very far in rocket design anons!!
look at this WWII rocket - it is so primitive compared to the MuskRoket….
they look so very different!
so you are surprised by this?
have you ever done any digging on WHO owns radio/TV/internet media anon?
there is nowhere in current civilization where you do not pay taxes, other than Siberia.
your car and house loans are the biggest and most egregious because they are central bank debt - central banks do not want you ever paid off - hence so-called "credit scoring"…
I am not lying when I say this 1800 sq ft home we got for $35k is paid for and we are making out just fine on around $2.4k/mn.
got out of big city shit and into tiny town with minimal regs and minimal everything
yuge changes
only advice I would offer is to be ready to fix everything yourself, support your local guys even if it costs more and get to know your neighbors even if it takes effort.
I find it very interdasting to read history and understand that this is how our grandparents and great-grandparents all lived, for the most part…
o7 anon
my goal was and is to stay OUT of central bank IOUs and OUT of big cities where shit can go sideways in a blink.
sure - no phone service but satellite internet works fine…
