How to make money Off the Grid
Cottage Industries

Going off the grid has been on my mind for awhile now. However, one of the roadblocks to going off the grid is the problem of making enough cash/money to pay your taxes, purchase items that you can't get off the grid or just having some cash for a rainy day. Now, since I am a woman, this problem is all the more acute, there is only so much I can do. So after much thought, sleepless nights, prayer and meditation I have come up with a pretty workable list. At least it's workable in my mind and that's all that matters to me. So without further delay here is a workable list of jobs, methods and ideas for bringing in the cash while living large “Off the Grid”.

Re: How to make money Off the Grid
Take a look at the book, “Your Money or Your Life”, OP. I read it several years ago. It really changed how I look at, and practice, money. Was able to buy the property. Went back to school to draw up my own blueprint, designing for all the different considerations.. I keep chugging along to get out on the acreage and get off the grid too. Can’t make it seem to happen though in the city. Baby steps. Good luck.

First, you have to do your homework and see what it entails..which is what I'm doing.

Old type writers (the mechanical ones) will make a comeback one day. I have a couple of dozen in storage and they can be found at garage sales and junk shops for a few bucks.
The old style ribbons can be re-inked with the ink you buy for stamp pads.

Why would you pay taxes if you went "off the grid"?

Re: How to make money Off the Grid
best way to make money off the grid is to take all the copper wire you can find, while simultaneously supporting and promoting your lifestyle.....

Go figure!

I think the best way to avoid taxes is to keep your income low..below $7,500 but you will always have property taxes you will have to pay unless you squat somewhere.

You have to make a little money (I think) in order to buy things that you can't grow and to pay property taxes...unless you can tell me how to get out of paying property taxes?
