I’m glad people like you exist. I’ve cut down spending through COVID and have been mostly in bunker mode living well below my means and paying off my mortgage. I don’t owe anything to anyone outside of land tax and some utilities. I’m late to the game removing Amazon from the picture, but my last order has already been made. What sucks is I thought after a few years of hunkering down things would finally get better and I’d be in a great position to move forward. I hope more and more people join this effort. I see this as being AS important as the 2nd amendment. The right to bare arms is useless if you have to fight an entity with most of the money, major parts of the supply chain, and all the intel.
