    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    Well what you have observed is true. We as a CULTure of everything monetized have lost all sight of community,tribal,village relations. Families are also very divided for the most part. It is the ultimate success of dividing and conquering that has everyone disconnected too bust trying to...

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    Yes I in fact have been doing that recently intentionally but add more than many others who do not have that choice. It started with a intestinal health problem whereby I had to limit what I was eating to a very small amount of choices. Then as survivalist we have been prepping for decades and...

    Preparing to live in 2-door hatchback, seeking advice.

    Hey Stix welcome to "breaking out to the other side" LOL got near nothing about doing your car but played drums too in my youth and transitioned more to hand drums as I got older so maybe a small Dunbeck or Jimbe' somewhere in the future. Best wishes ~ Sky

    I I am so honored to be able to read your writing as you are a very good writer and I have upmost respect for elders like you, who have only the kind of intelligence along with giddy up and go that you of long years, have. I live off the grid DIY now but was raised in the west coast City life...

    How do you organize your life and keep from getting overwhelmed?

    Well Gary 1/2 the battle is being able to be aware of one's self. Given that you have expressed creative aspirations, I do not doubt that you can get over stemmed and go into altered perceptions of time and space. All the greatest greats had what would be deemed as manic moments and in a social...

    How do you organize your life and keep from getting overwhelmed?

    It is great that your giving the information and encouraging people to think and become more informed about what they are ingesting and consenting too, wb8vyn. After all the stake holders and investors love people to act like consumer cattle grazing themselves into slaughter. Sorry but I just...

    How do you organize your life and keep from getting overwhelmed?

    Yeah man I find too much on the wi fi and in so called civilization gives me fog, adhd symptoms and a work out in nature always cures. There are people with tin foil hats actually with clear valid documentation of the effects of our so called civilized lifestyle whereby we are exposed to unknown...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    23Tango hey that is a great idea to create a method in which people can come together in a smaller community based on needs. Exactly why I offered and those of us with land bases can offer safe places to be. I had met a van dweller in 2014 in town who needed a place and offered it to her and...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    I like to post the truth as far as I know it for folks. Yes reality on the ground if you have no neighbors, or have neighbors that believe in live and let live and are not worried about their RE values and you pay attention to the least of the rules and pay your taxes in most places there is...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    That's fine however there are places. I purchased 1/4 acres in NM and each cost $5.00 pr yr in taxes and have for 20+ yrs. So at $200.00-500. ? a quarter acre some people just might want to know they could fathom doing so. My only regret is that I had not done it sooner when they were only...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    Hello Guenter, this is not exactly what I think you want which is hard numbers and facts now in 2021-2022. But thank you for posting the topic which is seldom discussed and somewhat a social taboo since so many want to live beyond their means, outside of this blog. I have noticed that most...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    I am not sure but I think they also put people who are retirement age and just did not make much in their lifetime be it housewife or whatever reasons ? On it as well. I know of two elderly women in my area who subsist on the same amount but I do not know officially if they were deemed mentally...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    Wow that is impressive in NM it is similar to AZ but I think a little better maybe? Years ago when I was ill with no income for a time and 1 dependent NM gave $200 + but when no dependent and temp dis income of $700 kicked in they dropped me to $16. I was so disgusted I told the guy at the Human...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    My niece lives in Florida and mentioned recently that Florida is booming with many moving in from So Carolina and so I was thinking that the prices in SC may be going down if people are moving out. Got to look into that. Could really use a warmer place in the winter to Snow Bird too.

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    That is impressive. Well I lived in my step van back in the early 80's at age 21 and I was the ''working poor'' as well as during one of those downturns. I required far less and after taxes working 2 pt jobs flipping Pizza at a Corporate chain's, lived on $700 month after taxes. Mind you I ate...
