Ephifany!!! We can all live for FREE!

[ghemminger]

Want to put this into flyer format...

Just started to realize - We can all live for free - anything you currently spend money on can be gotten for free and in many cases you can make money on items instead of spending it...

In this thread we will LIST THINGS we spend money on in LIFE - and I will counter with a FREE alternative - Thanks fot responding to this thread!!

food -

my wife and i have made a hobby (it really is fun) out of tracking down wild food
and it covers a significant portion of our monthly grocery bill

 

[Dave Pedersen]

Property taxes and inheritance taxes.

Without property taxes and inheritance taxes we could actually own our own property and leave it to our families and our families could grow in wealth generation building on generation.

As we were created to live. FREE.

Seriously--Food. Heating (while in a house--no 'build a fire' responses, thanks ), water (preferably purified/filtered). I'd like to know how to hand wash clothes the old, cheap way. Cooking methods. Easy-to-grow, longlasting food you can grow in a small yard (I'm hoping potatoes...I don't like most veggies).

Sometimes I will wash my cloths in my bathtub. Then ring them out good and hang them outside in the spring/summer.

Know anything about handmade soap? I wish I had a comprehensive book with the survival know-how of the Indians and the Amish, etc. Once true depression hits, and it will, we'll be without electricity.

Another great step to simplifying your life and becoming self-sufficient is --

The Raw Food Diet -- after 7 years of being a raw food vegetarian, I know for a fact we don't need to eat animals and cook food.

automobiles? homes & mortgages? educations?

Autos: Buy 3 for 2000 a peice and sell 2 for 3000 each

Mortgage: by a fourplex - rent 3 dwelling to pay your mort.

Public eduaction or subsidized homeschooling

 

[mysticgeek]

Yes ...

How about moonshine?

That would work ... but I dunno how good I could make it ... I should try it out though!

I'm sorry--I can't be a vegetarian. I have to eat meat. I wish I could eat more veggies happily, but I only eat: corn, green beans, potatoes. Can stomach carrots/tomatoes/celery, but am not enthusiastic about them. I wish I had some cows to milk.
