30. Sold everything in 2006.
Moved to The Woods
Planted a BIG Veggie Garden
Chickens & HoneyBees too

Resist all "packaged" foods,
what we can't produce, we buy in bulk and cook from scratch
Buy almost nothing NEW
Buy or Barter USED, 2ndHand, or Salvage, and make it work...
or do without.

No credit
No mortgage
Lowest possible "taxable" income
Wall Street can Live or DIE without our concern or money.

Reducing our dependence on "BIG ENERGY"

Changed our focus from National Party Politics to local humanitarian issues,
and developing new ways of defunding Corporate America and their bought politicians.


So far, so good.
We are no longer Good American Consumers.
Its a process, and next year
we will consume even less.

Still paying a monthly tribute to Big Comms (Sat TV, cell Internet),
but working up the will to shut off the Sat TV.
