Interesting article, but I couldn't help but feel that much of it wasn't really 'dropping out' but more of relying on others. These passages in particular struck me as basically taking something from the system without paying into it: > If you're charming, you can find a partner or spouse who will "support" you by permitting you to sleep and cook someplace without asking for money. I couldn't tell how tongue-in-cheek this was, but clearly you're relying on your partner not to 'drop out' in this case. > I stopped buying music and books (exceptions in exceptional cases) and got in the habit of using the library. Who pays for these music and books if you don't contribute almost anything in taxes?
