This freaked me out as I always see this man’s face when I’m tripping hard, or hitting super deep sleep nearly, or when I’ve been knocked out.
Super unique looking guy, and I just saw the exact face, way super unique, he was an ex Mormon bishop!
It’s odd, like seeing a photo of an old friend or someone you just know was part of the plot but you don’t remember how.
Increasing inflation. Cost of living, job scarcity, there is a way to better your odds to escape, but the younger you start the better.
First, If you’re a teen or in college and live poor that’s perfect.
Clothes are to keep you warm.
Housing is to protect from elements and support your financial goals.
Food is for health and sustenance.
Keep your standards cheap. Find the cheapest food, I do aldis, and the cheapest most nutritious recipies, I can survive on 50$ a week at grocery store.
I have a job I can do remote and a business I’ve built over 5 years I can do anywhere to cover my costs.
Put away at least half your monthly income, I’m doing the s and p on auto withdrawal to hit compound interest, study finance, it’s the only true freedom in a society designed to chain you to your own desires and keep you in stress and debt till you die.
Turn to nature. Everything I do for fun is free. Besides the boats for kayaking. But I keep a hammock in my trunk and can sleep in the woods anytime, a coffee pot and stuff to start my camp fire and bedding. You can travel the country sleeping in your car or in a hammock for fun.
I picnic by the lake side, cook all my meals, hike and do nature photography, writing, art, music, get to a city and most museams are free, or can hustle for a
Week and make some spending money and go out for dinner, but important not to spend from your bug out fund.
I think use of psychedelics can help see the bigger picture for many.
Anyways, the traditional way of existing in America is gone.
When I first moved out 5 years ago rent was 475$ a month right outside a university town. Now it’s 1,350$
This month I get rid of my apartment and begin living off the road and saving 75% of my income while building my service business.
Debt is the enemy. Get the best gas reliable car at low mileage paid off that will last years, and boom!
Anyways this is just some stuff I’m doing and thinking about. Unless you’re working a killer job and living solo the American idea is dead.
Now what’s valuable is not desiring anything beyond freedom and experience. Not owning anything but your car and survival supplies and having many streams of income that can be invested.
Idk anyone else thinking similar?
