I can live “off the grid” if that is what it comes down to. I have an acre of land to plant, plenty of lead for bullets and the tools to build shelter(s), nearby rivers and an ocean to fish....Hey, why am I still working?!!! ;-)
Maybe, to leave an inheritance?
Because you owe property taxes every year. You never really own your property. The government lets you live on it as long as they get their annual tribute.
