I've made massive lifestyle changes & continue to spend my cash reserves that came from cashing out my 401K prematurely a year & a half ago (with no regrets). I immediately recognized that so many people are living alone paying the man all these ridiculous bills & am now sharing space with others (OMG, NO I don't live with my parents. Yikes.) This helped a friend reduce their expenses, too.

I am about to journey to the four corners area with my tent & a few new survival & sustainable living skills that I've learned in the last year & a half. Time to practice what I beleive to be best. Even though I've really done my homework, I know it won't be easy to make such changes but, I just can't support these MF'ers anymore!

All the folks around me are concerned that I get another
J-O-B doing something that I like. I was a 6 figure earner for a few years. Well, it will have to be a non-employee role that doesn't contribute a penny to TPTB. I recognize that this isn't for everybody & sometimes we have to walk alone in our convictions.

Just doing the best I can with what I have - wish everyody had a nest egg & great faith. It's truly been a gift.
