Start by getting out of debt. Next identify everything your dependent on that you don’t produce yourself. Next, start attacking that list.

- It saddens me to agree… Man has become slaves to Babylon. We waste the experiences of our lives working to clear mortgage debt for this house I now finally own as an empty-nester. We defaulted on property taxes after my spouse got sick… We no longer own that house we put our lives into. WE’LL NEVER BE FREE IF WE’RE STILL SLAVES TO BABYLON. Living as we are designed to – a natural lifestyle, not dictated by capitalism – is true freedom. Community is what it takes. ❤️

CONGRATS
We are also just under 5 years left on the mortgage of our land, no house note since I built it with my own hands.

I’m in the city wish we had got property years ago. Being disabled makes it hard to do, we get by
-
I was in the same boat. I was actually disabled before buying the land. I used it and building this place as my therapy. I had a big M.S. episode in 05 and had to learn to walk, talk and write all over again. I was still on crutches and or canes when I bought this land and started working to clear it. It wasn’t exactly that I had to learn to walk or write or talk it was more like re-teaching the muscles to do the work. Sorry not a Doc so I don’t explain it well.

Hi All, I think one of the most important thing for our family was to get out of debt. It means you can’t have everything you want but generally you have what you need.
-
Absolutely! We bought our property in 2010 and only did a 12 year loan, then saved as much as we could to build our house with our savings so no house note. When all of my co-workers, family and friends were going on vacation, we would go to our property and work there. Just paid off our property this year!
-
This is awesome! I love hearing others’ stories. Honestly, it gives so much hope and proof that this free life is possible! Keep on keeping on y’all!

Debt free living is the freeest (is that a word?) feeling on earth!
-
We are currently $9,900 from being debt free. I can’t wait to feel my freest!
-
You’re doing it! Keep up the great work and stay focused!

Tried to fig out how to post this as topic in States forum as well. Conversation about balkanization of United States. Found very relevant topic in relation to underlying reason most all of us here. I’m not seeing enough conversation on it considering what’s all happening. So..how to get this topic started here. FYI had trouble with trying to do a tag. https://youtu.be/Y-5t926gzaUhttps://youtu.be/Y-5t926gzaU

Lots of discussion on paying off mortgages and being debt free.
In July, after 33 years of monthly payments, my house will be paid off.
Here’s the catch , the property taxes and homeowners insurance still go on.
At the end of the day the monthly payment will go down about 300 bucks. Kind of a buzz kill.
Yes I know I could relocate to a property with a 75 dollar a year tax bill, but that ship has sailed I can assure you. Do it while you’re young folks. If I knew all I know now when I was 30, we would have a whole different conversation.
-
I love this comment. There is no magic answer. Nothing is fool proof. Taxes are super hard to deal with. Thank you
-
No one rides for free. We are all Stewarts. It cost to live. Yet, we can always change. You still have the ability to change. If you own, you have money in that ownership. So another 30 years to pay off doesn’t exist for you. We really don’t own what we own. You know the saying: “you can’t take it with you.” No doubt you enjoyed your time.
-
Congratulations on home being paid off. I understand the taxes and insurance crap. At least the man ain’t getting a bunch of your salary.

I love when people say “ don’t do things that enslave you”
Now, I wouldn’t want to disrespect anyone, but I would like to know what that means.
My parents are dead, for years now so the people who currently live in their house wouldn’t really just let me live in the basement I guess. It might get weird.
I’m not interested in living in a cardboard box under a bridge cuz, well it gets cold in the winter and there’s typically no shower or toilet.
To own a home and some acres , unless you were left money you typically have to have some manner of employment or way to generate an income. Honest or dishonest, that sort of makes you a slave to a working life right out of the gate. My parents taught me to work hard to get what I want, not to cry loud enough until someone gave it to me, which would make me their slave anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do, I like where I live, I appreciate the fact that I have to walk a ways to get close enough to the fence if I choose to talk to my neighbor. I DO wish that it cost less to maintain that, but it is what it is. If I’m given the secret to getting money for nothin’ I’m there.
I’ll even write a song about it.
I don’t really feel like a slave because I have to work 5 days a week to maintain a lifestyle , although it does cut down on my video game time. I guess if I lived in somebody else’s house so I didn’t have to pay for it all, I wouldn’t be such a slave, but they probably would want me to at least take out the trash or cut the grass. That would kind of enslave me to a point.
My point is I guess, I just don’t know what people mean when they say “ don’t do things that enslave you”
I’m also curious as to the value of their assets and how they got them.

To me freedom is living life according to your terms. If that means the life you described then good for you. Being in slaved in my opinion is living a life we hate because the world tells us to. To me, relying on the system for my needs is slavery. To somebody else it might be an accepted convenience. I worked very hard for many years so that I could live my life according to my terms. To me its not that complicated. Thank you for the comment.

Yes, we all have to work in some form. For me, ever since before I was married I made my own jobs. I taught dance (mostly Ballet, first starting in a gym I worked at part time (I had been trained in Ballet since I was 5) . When we got married we bought a house with a big enough rec room to convert into a dance studio so I was able to teach from home. A few years later we were able to double the size of that room as my business grew and I was able to also learn martial arts by exchanging lessons for space rent. Once I had my black belt I was able to start teaching my own classes. Eventually I retired from all that (after 28 years) and decided to take a step of faith and start a youtube channel which expanded my reach for the hand crafted items I had been making and selling locally for years. Youtube then opened up other avenues for passive income as well. So, I get to call the shots on what job I choose to do and what suits me in my current stage of life. To me that is a form a freedom

Exactly.
So many don’t want to work for what they want.
I’ll work and have what I need, and some of what I want.

i got an idea
banish fiat cash and all forms of current-of-the-sea it is worthless and used for pure con-troll and forms of slavery like debt-slavery
