    I hear you, and that’s the semantically correct term, but the issue transcends pure semantics. Considering the beauty standards set for women (thin, hairless, weak, what have you) it’d be foolish to not consider the idea that fetishizing qualities that signal (pre-pubescent) youth doesn’t have anything to do with pedophilia. Sugar babies / models tend to adhere to these standards, and billionaires tend to go for them.

    I picked the middle ground where I have a small food garden in the summer and buy from local farmers in the winter. The stuff I can’t get from locals I get from grocery stores. It’s not all or nothing, but it’s a great idea to tip the scales so that you have SOME independence and learn a skill or two in the process. I think your garden will be a great starting point if you expand it so that most of your needs are met there during growing season.

    On top of that, one area of skills that is often overlooked is how you can develop self-sustainability by learning how to fix things. Buy stuff that is fixable, then when it breaks learn how to repair it. One easy example could be a knit that got a hole in it, a more difficult project might be fixing a pair of leather shoes or a busted computer.
