Why The American Dream Is Not Available For You – Unless …
The Origin Of The American Dream.
The American Dream, as a concept, was founded on a notion, as an aspiration or reward, in the spirit of the Declaration Of Independence by virtue of a very clear, but simple, statement of fact first laid out in 1776.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
However, the explicit word combination of "The American Dream", as an actual, referential, phrase with any related meaning, did not appear, in any current day recognizable form, until well into the early years of the Industrial Revolution.

How To Make Money To Live Life On Your Own Terms!
The Key To Living Life On Your Own Terms.
The key to being able to reliably live life on your own terms, with comfort and ease, is to escape "The System": You have to get off "The Grid"* to Gain Radical Independence Directly (GRID) for yourself! (See * below for my definition; what I mean by get off "The Grid" and live off "The Grid".)
This simply means, you have to be living your life in a way that is free of having any dependence on any of the things you need for a safe, comfortable life that could affect your welfare and safety but over which things you typically, conventionally, have no control. Things such as your Income, Shelter, Food and Electricity: You have to be in control of these things to protect your welfare and safeguard your well-being!

Do You Need Money To Live Off The Grid?

Freedom comes from escaping "The System" and getting into Living Off-The-Grid*! There are four basic freedoms: Purpose, Time, People and Location! Helping you to achieve these freedoms is what "How To Live Off The Grid Now™", is all about!
In summary, to live your life on your own terms with comfort and ease and enjoy having the four freedoms - being able to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want and where you want - you really do have to have a ready source of money and be Living Off-The-Grid!*
Income and Savings

b) If you don't Live Off-The-Grid*, you are never really going to get to enjoy having the four freedoms. The conventional way of modern, 9-5 Job type life is like a trap: It's an unsustainable, unfulfilling, continual drain on all of your resources; not just your money.
Freedom! What Is That?
The Foundation Of Our Freedom:
Here in the United States, we talk a lot about freedom and being a free nation. In terms relative to other countries, that is largely true thanks to our Constitution.
For example, we are blessed to have the right to freedom of speech and to elect our leaders from a local through State to Federal level. We have the Constitutional Rule Of Law. But, do we really have freedom on a personal level? Are you doing the things that you love and that bring you joy?
What, exactly, do I mean by personal level freedom? What kind of freedom is that? Freedom from what? And how do you get, and enjoy having, this freedom? And, if you are you not doing the things that you love and that bring you joy, why not?

Take Back Control Over Your Life
Do You Want To Take Back Control Over Your Life?
Let's start by asking, do you want to take back control over your life? Do you want the Freedom to live life on your own terms?
Seems rhetorical doesn't it? Who wouldn't want control over how they live their life and yet many are living lives of quiet desperation, unaware of the possibilities for them to make a change? Even unaware of why they feel so stressed, so unhappy, unhealthy, dissatisfied and disillusioned with their life.
Classic Commuter Nightmare. Toxic Fumes, Stress, Time And Money Loss.
Does this ring true for you? Do you even realize that you have no control over your own life if you live within "the system"? Do you realize how vulnerable you are if you live within "the system"? How will you survive if "the system" fails? This is about getting to that Freedom to live life on your own terms. Are you ready?
Tax Cuts = Jobs Creation Is Fake News
FAKE NEWS Is Fire And Fury Alternative Facts:
TAX CUTS, JOBS, JOBS CREATION, TRICKLE DOWN? These benefits, as claimed by the GOP, are all deliberate FAKE NEWS. Fire and Fury rhetoric! Alternative facts to reality.
Tax Cuts for the middle class! Jobs creation as a result of tax cuts!! Trickle-down benefits to the economy!!! This tax package will stimulate GDP Growth to eliminate the deficit!!!! This plan will pay for itself!!!!! Oh really? Not likely! Maybe it's time to ask how to get out of the system and go live off the grid?
Another Issue Of MAD-Magazine - cc MAD Magazine #541
It's actually, sadly, all nonsense! Trump Fire and Fury rhetoric; GOP Pipe dreams made real! All completely MAD; deliberately misleading, snake-oil statements. If you believe any of it, then I've got an equally wonderful, mythical, bridge and I'd like to sell it you! But, if you know it's really nonsense and are looking for a solution, I've got that for real here.
Going Off The Grid – You Need To Know
11 Things To Know Before Going Off The Grid
An Introduction To The 11 Things To Know:
This is a guide intended only to give you a general informational overview of the 11 most fundamental things you would need to know before going off the grid.
It is a curation of "words-of-wisdom" gathered from the experiences of those who have taken the step of creating their own off-the-grid lifestyle.
Fertile Land
It is relatively easy to go off the grid by simply cutting your connection to the power grid. But, it is very complicated to go completely off the grid to self-sufficiency. It is also very easy to underestimate what is involved in creating the off the grid self-sufficient lifestyle.
Get Off The Grid Checklist
What It Takes To Get Off The Grid:
Get Off The Grid? Live off the grid? What does it take? That depends!
By "get off the grid" I mean so much more than just cutting the umbilical chord to the power grid for your source of electricity. It should go without saying that you will want to do that but you can also do so much more than that. It all depends on just how far you want to go, and can go, to have freedom from dependence on outside, vulnerable, resources.
For example, do you want freedom from having to eat GMO modified and generally mass-processed Super-Market food products? Then you will need to grow your own vegetables and possibly chickens as well. You could do that to meet your own food needs and even grow enough to create a source of income.

"Creating A Modern Day Off-The-Grid Self-Reliant Lifestyle"
The "off-the-grid, self-reliant, lifestyle" label, in the context of this web-site and discussion, means so much more than just living a lifestyle in a home that is simply disconnected from the power grid and nothing more than that - the original definition of being "off-the-grid". This label also now means much more than a life lived in some remote boondocks location, even though modern usage of the term "off-the-grid" has now come to mean even that in the broadest sense of its use.
But here I am talking about living your life in a way that is essentially self-reliant and, ultimately, also self-sustaining: Looking at creating a lifestyle that is technically fully off-the-grid in every respect. This means having a lifestyle that is completely free of dependence on any form of public services.
