I’m assuming you’ve already thrown away your non-work computer, don’t watch television, and don’t own/use a smart phone? And you’re only eating meat you hunt/fi

I’m assuming you’ve already thrown away your non-work computer, don’t watch television, and don’t own/use a smart phone? And you’re only eating meat you hunt/fish/raise yourself?
- Paul_S 4y agoWhy would I do any of that? I'd like to emphasize the word "modern" in my post. I don't want to live apart from society or modern technology. I embrace modern technology (I guess to a point, don't own anything smart or use clouds). I'm a woodworker and only use hand tools where they are genuinely better, otherwise it's machines all the way. I don't want to cosplay as a British Amish.
- paulcole 4y agoYou don’t need $1,000,000 to live like a peasant. My cousin’s broke and he manages OK. It sounds more like you want to live like a rich person lol.
- Paul_S 4y agoThe crucial detail is "in England". I could do this in America no problem, I know. I'm surprised more Americans don't take advantage of this freedom they have.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoThe freedom to make their life more difficult? I live on a farm in the Midwest; there's a reason most people prefer life in the city/suburbs: it's simply much easier.
- jahlove 4y agoYou don't need a million dollars to do nothin', man. Take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-bp_A61MI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-bp_A61MI
- lm28469 4y agoYep, with the cattle I raise on my 2sqm balcony, and I exclusively eat veggies from my 20cm kitchen basil plant You can't live off grid with a day job/living in the city, you can't farm until you have land, &c.
