Living without bills



What would you do if you had no loan, rent or bills for heating or water?
Would you start to dare to dream of the impossible who to spend more time with their grandchildren or to study or travel or even take three months' holiday a year or lose working hours? WHAT would you do? Change jobs, start painting to do volunteer work, get involved in any organization to do something better for society? The list is long.
It is difficult to dream of doing these things when you are locked into 40-hour week for your mortgage, student loans, children who want the same things as other children and an employer who will give you as little pay as it goes.Do you feel that you would like to do something else or atleast a bit more than you do now. Then you are not alone!
I have dreams and I intend to achieve them.
It allows you to.
But what are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want? Can you imagine working a double time to reach your goals? Or spend a large part of your free time to realize it needed to step outside of society's grip on you. Or is it not society's grip on you? Maybe it's your own grip on yourself. Daring to take the plunge.
I do not see society as a threat but it is inevitable that society has a hold on me that makes it hard for me to grow. I viewed as a threat to society who want to build my house on wheels and stay with alternative energies. Yes, society has no money for my heating and electricity consumption, but it's good if you look at the big picture ENVIRONMENT. That I want to work less, I think is weird, how many do not want it? I love my job, it means that I want to spend more time with my coworkers than with those outside my workplace, my children and friends? Want it? How many graduations, Christmases, birthdays have you missed because you are working and can not afford to take time off because you have loans, rents, etc.?
I do not want you to begin to despair of your life but think about what you want if there were no restrictions on you, would you have what you have today? Is there something you yearn to do? What you burn for? A friend of mine is a teacher, she wants to go to a poor country and teach, how will this be done? Should it be impossible? So what are you prepared to do to realize your dreams? Or have you forgotten to dream? Do you remember what you had for the previous dreams in your life, before the children arrived and life just seems to run on? What have you done the last 10 years? they have been fast? Have you done that you intended to do?
Life is not so far that you can wait for things to resolve itself naturally.
Life has an end date and you and I do not know which day is our last day here on earth. But you and I and everyone else has a date. If you knew you would die in 5 years and 4 days and 32 minutes would you live your life differently?
Is not it true that if you just spent and took the things that you really did you would have more money in your wallet to be more casual or add on things that you really want.
If you chose to stay cheaper you would have less to clean, more money ormore leisure
If you invest in alternative energies such as solar or wind, you'll soon havemore money and less concern for increases in electricity.
I have previously written a post about how my life will look like financially when I moved into my house on wheels and monthly expenditure stops at a maximum of 1000 dollars.
What would you do if you had only 1000 crowns in bills?
I know what to do, the list is long.
