Some are getting *it*; tiny houses and debt free. Casey’s closing words that we’re going from a milk cow to a beef cow says it all.
I don’t think most people understand debt and especially credit. Neo-serfdom coming soon to the average Joe.
I’ve no argument with anything in this thread. We’re owned lock, stock, and barrel.
Wouldn’t being debt free be one foil to the machine? It’s possible to be debt free, but maybe not in the U.S., short of some extreme (or real) lifestyle choices. Where I live there are no property taxes on a purchased home.
So, isn’t personal debt (lack there of) an important adjunct to personal freedom?

I’m a lurker making the plunge…into the deep end of the pool.
I feel humbled by the intelligence of this, oh so worthy, counter to the machine.
Thank you for this most relevant blog; clarity in the long night of fog…
