Why Do I Like Subsistance Living As Well As Wealthy Living? (updated 2 times)

The fact is, that you can live just as good of a life as anyone without spending any more money than an original investment in the right technology.

  • To not pay electricity bills : Just have amorphous solar panels that will last indefinitely and never have a rise of monthly cost, and may even be the same as having an interest earning account of 7% per year and on up (If you use the math of a penny saved is mathematically the same as a penny earned).
  • To not pay mortgage or rent bills : Just build your own house which you can find plans for right here on my site. And it will take less than a month to fully build guaranteed, and will cost subsistence amounts of money, and will perform 10 times better than a modern built house. Except that you need to find a place with no building laws at all, to be allowed to build it-----By the way, the reason that houses are built under par these days and are getting worse even, is the fact that when people in America created the building codes, the people building the houses realized that they could build just barely within the minimum safety requirements (building codes) by using the cheapest materials and methods. And could sell the house for just as much as all of the other houses( watch the show "Holmes on homes" on the DIY network I think it is, to see him say the same).
  • To not pay taxes on the house : You need to have an interest earning account- 10,000$ at 6% interest earning account will be 600$/year or 50$/mo.------- Or you just don't let people know that you built a house( just like you don't let people know if you built a tree house) and they won't be able to tax you for any "value"( which is what people will pay you if you sell it, not what it actually cost you to build).
  1. But what I'm planning is that as long as I either have no nearby neighbors or I do have visual barriers to the property, then it is impossible for them to know about it or even care if they did know about it. And if they ever find out then I just have to demolish it and start over and build it again in only one weeks time. Anyways there are tons of hunting cabins on people's properties that are never complained about. I'm willing to accept the risks.
  • To get food and water you just need land! And to get land you need to fight other people for it now because people have been sooooooo stupid that now the population has increased to preposterous levels. And things that were normal to have 100 years ago are too expensive or rare to get no matter how hard you try now.-----So now that you have the land you can either plant an artificial forest with perennials or you can do a self watering regular garden(sprinklers/irrigation pond).
  • To get fresh water:
  1. You can read in any survival book that, "The best way to get drinking water is to first find the water, then filter out particulates and tastes with any normal filter, and then just boil the water, as long as it doesn't contain industrial waste".
  2. You can get run off from any roof and treat it with : Chlorine, and a pump, a filter, an then put it in a tank to be used for shower water.
  3. Then boil some for other purposes. Or you can dig a hole at a low point in you property that can fill up with water naturally within a year depending on the size of the hole you dug. And then treat, and filter the water as needed. Or dig a well if there's no other way.

But there are ways to get almost anything done for you for free:
  • Light: Ultrabright LED's have a longer lifespan than florescent bulbs and can be household sized. There are now replacements for florescent light fixtures that are made out of a row of LED's for 150$ ea. (Look to a later article for where to find)
  • Computer:The best kind is one that is completely composed of flash memory, this is what is called a solid state drive(disc) or SSD(see: Wikipedia). And is the logical next step in computers but you can completely erase it if it ever gets a virus and put back up copies of it's operating system or programs onto an external hard drive, just like you need to do with all computers anyways for safety. And it would all only take minutes, and uses less energy for the whole computer, and solid state for durability. Except for the fact that it just came out this year and costs 3,000$ for a laptop.
  • TV: Just have a projector screen and all of your problems are solved, it should also double as a monitor to use it as a computer screen if you hook it up via wifi thru your laptop.-----LATER ADDED-----Look at the Dec. issue of popular science and it shows how there is already an OrganicLED TV that is high priced now, but I predict that it will totally replace all other TV technologies. Because of it's extremely low manufacturing costs and that it can therefore be the size of a whole wall and still be cheap. As long as the OLED's frame rates are good enough. And the screen is only a few mm thick.
  • Transportation:Solar cell charged "supercapacitors"(which are just around the corner see:Wikipedia) that use dark "aerogel"/ an AC induction motor/and any practical vehicle(helicopter or "autogyro"(see:Wikipedia) being the best). Or just have an electric vehicle that you charge at night just like a cell phone, using the new nano technology lithium ion batteries. But for long road trips without the infrastructure of nighttime chargers you should just rent a car.
  • Trash: Composter.
  • Toilet: Composter.
  • Supplies: Paid by interest, or buy reusable ones, or homemade.(10$/mo)
  • Medical: Yearly checkup with interest(insurance won't cover it even if they say they will so don't buy it) but get a "EBTScan"to see any faults in the body at all and they will have a cure to cancer in 2 years that uses micro waves and microspheres that carry microwave sensitive materials and that are attracted to cancer by the use of "introns"(it has recently been shown on the news so look on "youtube"). For heart disease they now only need to make a small incision and go in between the ribs to replace any artery. And they are researching ways to manufacture artificial organs with biodegradable scaffolding.
  • Safety: The good old fashioned gun still works. But the very best way to get out of trouble, and to prevent it in the first place is to not be around other humans at all, or at least the bad ones. So if you live in cities, then you are just asking for trouble eventually. But we still need loved ones to be comforted with which I haven't figured out a solution to have the best of both worlds on that yet.
So all together it is possible to live a wealthy lifestyle without constantly spending money forever as long as you just have a way to buy the things that save money and a way to build your own house. Which is all starting to become impossible so get going now...
