Or at least get as close to escaping as possible.
Okay, so I hate working. I hate that my time alive is measured and bought, and no matter how much I'm ever paid I will always feel exploited about having that time taken from me out of 'financial necessity'. What's funny is that my therapist agrees with me every time I spend half a session circling around how most of my problems stem from being a wage slave. I don't like it and want to be done already.
And so, here is my half-cocked plan.
1.) live like the resilient little cockroach that I am and live in my in-laws uninsulated garage. Pay little in rent, hope the neighbors don't narc, and call code enforcement.
2.) Get books on gardening and self-sufficiency from the library. Start a garden and keep a few chickens for extra produce and eggs.
- Work crappy job. Husband also works his crappy job. We par our budget down to the bone and do not spend any money at all, unless it's a necessity. The so-called “no spend challenge”.
4.) Do step 4 until we have scraped enough money together to buy a crappy little house in the middle of nowhere. It's probably going to be haunted. Survive off of gardening skills, chickens, and the occasional deer.
5.) One of us works some part-time job to buy things we can't make. At this point, we have a roof over our head and some food on the table, and Big Daddy Capitalism has to go bother someone else.
I'm told my plan is…extreme. But as far as I can tell, it's doable.
