I understand that one can live an austere lifestyle. A book you might enjoy is “Into The Wild.” This is a true story about a young man seeking to live the simple life. I enjoyed this book so much, have read it twice, and watched the DVD movie twice. I saw much of myself as a young man in this tragic story of another young man that overestimated himself.
I am with you on the back issue. Suffered about 3 weeks of sciatica beginning two days before T’day. Much better now but not 100%. The physical therapy was of more help than anything.
I have lived cheap and could do it again if need be. However, why should I allow the criminals ruling from the DC empire to extract my sustenance in order to build theirs? I have income because I choose to work and expect to get paid for doing so. I also enjoy travel, hunting and fishing.
But that is exactly what they are doing, taking your tax payments. And they're using it to perpetuate a corrupt system that is rapidly destroying America.
As I see it, a little austerity now will prevent a lot of austerity later. Not everyone sees it that way. Or wants to.
By the way, travel, hunting and fishing will be enjoyed only as long as the criminals ruling from DC tolerate it. One day the TSA, the EPA and a few other gangs will make those pursuits impossible to enjoy -- and your income won't do you much good then, if they leave you any.
The chinese are trying to play people off one another, and in the process, gaining wealth and technology from the people being played. That scam will only get them so far. Get in bed with communists, expect to get screwed.
