Plan B

If all else fails you should have a plan B ready to go instantly.

Energy prices and water prices will go sky high supposedly, and inflation will cause everything else to be expensive causing higher bills than most people earn eventually. And we will all be working poor and dependent on the government for hand outs.

There's always more than one way of doing the same thing. We only choose a certain way to do that thing because it's easier or cheaper.

Washing clothes with a washing machine will soon be a major bill in Florida and elsewhere as energy and water prices rise. So instead just have a resealable bucket some alcohol and a plunger. There's your new washing machine. You can now use alcohol as cleaning fluid and the plunger as the source of agitation. Remember to do this in a well ventilated area from alcohol fumes(outside). Then ring them out and hang to dry and reseal up the bucket of alcohol and reuse later. But to conserve alcohol you may just want water proof clothes, such as polyester, or acrylic, or nylon, and just clean the surfaces of the clothes with an alcohol soaked rag.
But wait this might look awkward in your back yard if neighbors see you, or worse yet, in your apartment complex where you can't have a well ventilated area. So here's the plan B for housing.

Get a truck first for hauling around a boat. Then get a boat. With a boat you can gain access to otherwise inaccessible areas where no one will ever know you're there, even within the USA. Even only a few yards inland and no one will ever see you from the ocean. Alaska has more coastline that the rest of the US combined. On you're new unknown piece of land you can now utilize the land in the same way the native American's used to, if you were using the land then it was yours. No property values or buying of it or anything, land was everybody's to walk on or use or make homesteads on, for free. Anyways the people that own most of the land in the US don't even know what's on the land. These are land barons or the banks, and all that they know is the location of the land and whatever there property appraisers say. So no one will find you until you've already left.

Types of houses:

Stilt house on the ocean: If you know how to make a tree house then this is just the same. as long as you can secure poles into the sea bed then you can make it any way you want. The further into the bahamas the less people will see you.

Cave house: Dig out a cave with explosives found in the "jolly rogers cookbook". Then you have a place as big as you need to live in and make any way you want. This is good any mountainous or cold area.

Sand bag house, or super adobe: Get some kind of bag material, or tubing, and fill them with sand. The less clay in the sand the better because the clay will wash away. Then all you need is a roof. In order to make a water proof roof you can buy plastic camping tarps at the dollar store and seal them together with epoxy "plastic weld" found at most auto parts stores.

Rammed earth house: Get plywood walls with steel rebar holding them up and then ram dirt into the wall cavity by stepping on it. 1/10th cement to clay/sand ratio

Geodesic dome: With enough work you can flatten ends of sticks of the proper thickness and then drill a hole in the ends and make hundreds of these and the only thing you'd need to buy is nuts and bolts, and a tarp to put over it, and tools. Then cover it with dirt for insulation, the more dirt the more insulation even in alaska in the winter. May burry the godesic dome in the ground and enter it from the ceiling. This can be made on the spot anywhere if you bring along the big enough tarp and the nuts and bolts and the tools to craft the sticks. Or use spray foam for thin lightweight insulation. But you also need a fireplace for heat.

Stone house: Break apart stones and stack them into a house like machu pichu then for a roof have logs atacked on the A shaped stone house and then water proof and insulate. You need to be on a mountain to do this, or some other form of rock like coral castle.

House boat: If you have enough money you can buy a big boat and live on it where ever you want to set up anchor.
