“Me? I’ll be raising chickens and goats, growing Quinoa, Lentils and Black Currants, and distilling my own cask-aged “Medicine” for local consumption.”
Sounds like you’ve learned some valuable skills. Kudos.
Save. Save cash. Pay cash for your home. Drive a beater for less than a grand. Insure only for liability and uninsured motorists. Pay for your own kids college in cash. No loans. Use an American Express card only. A dairy goat, chickens, bee hive, small fruit orchard, and a 40 x 80 garden pretty much lets you say eff you to the righteous rulers and bankers.
