From an article on BodyMindSoulSpirit.com:
“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living.
We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” ~Buckminster Fuller
Do what you LOVE!
Stop following the path of debt slavery which chains you to a mortgage and living your life paycheck to paycheck just to make the bills for the month, and STILL have NOTHING left over for you and your family to enjoy life with.
Live Small, Get Rid of Your Debt
Walk away from a life of servitude, and do what you love to do… For a few 10′s of thousands of dollars you can be living on your own land, in your own cabin, and doing your own thing.
What kind of legacy do we want to leave our children? Do we really want to teach them that we MUST WORK OUT LIVES FOR SOMEONE ELSE!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE!
Let that sink in a second.
You have been programmed from a young age to believe you must have a JOB to make a living. Well, that’s not true. You need to WORK, but you don’t need a job, in the sense that you are working for someone else for the rest of your life, or a large portion of it. When you spend 30-50 years of your life at a job, then you spent 33% of that entire time doing something for someone else rather than for your family. You might think you’re “making a living” and technically you are. But what people fail to realize until it’s too late, is the idea of a job and earning a living relies on you working for and making money for your boss, not you. If you wanted to take time for yourself and your family you risk losing your job. If you have an opportunity to take your family on a trip somewhere can you just drop you job and go? No.
This is NOT About Responsibility
No one is saying you should shirk your duties as a provider for your family. Yes, you have bills. So does everyone. But that’s the point.
We’re programmed from a young age to believe that we must adhere to this idea of civilization that the majority of civilization deems “normal” when in fact it’s really the furthest thing from normal that you can get.
Work, and work hard, but it shouldn’t be a JOB. It should be doing something you LOVE doing. Go back to school. Learn a new skill
Your JOB is Your Family!
Your job is not your boss. Your job is to work hard (and SMART) to provide a good life for your family and yourself. To raise your children the way you see fit, and not the way the system says you should raise your family. Family is the most important thing on the face of the planet. It is our purpose. That and helping others. We have a duty to our families and humanity to provide for our families and to help other human beings.
You Can Go Off Grid
There are some steps you can take now that will allow you to go off grid sooner.
Create an Off Grid Fund – Put the money you save into a bank account and leave it alone. Forget it’s there, and keep working toward your goal of going off grid.
Reduce Your Expenses – Cut out the bills you don’t need. Cable TV is one. Unless you use cable TV for business, there’s really no reason other than temporary entertainment. You can watch TV again once you go off grid. Wouldn’t you rather put that $50-$120 or more per month toward your off grid fund?
