Haha, just reading briefly a few paragraphs about poverty. I totally agree! Personally I’d also be considered poor! I have around 20 grands a year to spend that I earn with my service to people (no welfare or such) I own my house, no mortgage, have chickens, a garden, a root cellar, buy organic if available and exchange eggs or crops with other food or leave it as a thank you for people that lend me stuff. I believe I have an awesome live in a great environment within a small community. We have a FreeStore at the dump where people leave things they don’t need but still to good to put to the garbage (best idea ever!) honestly, I feel extremely fortunate and rich! I worked for a lot of wealthy people in the past and I have to say, they are tide to their wealth, less free and most are driven by just one concern, you’ll guess it: Money!
Two lessons I learned in my life: stay away from bank loans! (They don’t care about you and being ruthless when you can’t pay once) Stay away from government gifts! (It ties you to their system and you’re losing dignity and freedom) Be reliable in your promises, work hard to get better, define what it really means to be rich for you personally (it’s not about your peers and neighbours). One will see that doors are opening one after the other to get you where it’s great for you. That’s at least what I know from myself and others who walking similar pathways.
Hi Heiko - thanks for this great comment. Your life sounds wonderful! Rich and full of healthiness, full of great relationships, and a great environment!! I am assuming you are Japanese? I love the FreeStore idea. I remember the dump when I was a little kid in Australia and we went to discard stuff I loved roaming around and finding all the discarded treasures! Glad you liked the article too - it was rather long.

Long article but such wise solution to today's WORLD problems.
Go with Nature ! Allow Nature to sort things out.
Thanks for that. Glad to see that you can see it's a helpful solution.
We need a Great Reset just as King Charles and Klaus Schwab claim, but not their solution - we need a Great Humanitarian Reset!!!
Your suggestion is the only way to survive after society crashes.
