Way to go! Not all of us have the ability to do this. I am self-employed, my wife had a reg job. When I saw that Obama was doing what we all feared, I had her retire and I went into semi-retirement. We have cut our taxable income by around 70%. We will not pay much in fed taxes going forward. We were already headed this way, but moved everything forward a few years. Best decision evah.
Sold the city house, moved to the country. The libs can pay for Obama’s utopia.
It is a peaceful and lawful method of defeating the socialist progressive takeover that may actually work, not that supporting the Tea Party movement or protesting isn't helpful. DIY is a terrific part of this plan. Your labor isn't taxed, the cost you'd pay to have it done isn't taxed and you get a great feeling of accomphisment when it's finished. The tools you purchase become additional resources for your self-sufficeny arsenal and may be used for a future source of income or trade.
Most of my time now is spent around the people I love and care about. We enjoy catching, growing, preparing and preserving foods.
You have to stay in shape and that means biking, long hikes, exercise and so forth.
Not everyone can leave the matrix but everyone can take a step in that direction. For benefit of others, they can begin by dropping pay TV, newspapers, magazines. Buy and store foods in bulk, purchase food processing equipment, start a DIY project (look to youtube for how to vids), cut back on spending, keep some cash at home, start saving more, go enjoy the outdoors through some low cost means (i.e. camping, biking, hiking, canoeing, build a wooden boat) and stop wasting time. Our good days are numbered.
