I've lived a slower and less expensive life going off the grid, and I'm happier because of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd like to live off-grid.
I've lived so frugally for so long. I have to have that financial security or the world feels out of control for me.
I tried all my life to make housing affordable. The more affordable the house, the more money I make.
I could easily exist on less money, but I like the way I live now.
The way I choose to live my own life rates time and space as real luxuries.
When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.
I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.
My life is better with every year of living it.
Life is better when people are working, happy, and spending money.
The idea that you can live off the grid and just do your own thing is a very American idea - that you should be able to do your own thing, if you want to, if you're willing to pay the price for it. I think the price has gotten higher and higher.
