"Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat"
M.D. Creekmore broke free of the usury death cycle and built a premium off-the-grid retreat in one cheap sweep.
I read this years ago when it came out and it was a really cool book back then. I think I read the entire thing at one sitting and was thinking about it for a long, long time afterwards.
Unfortunately I had a 30 year mortgage, a family to support and a wife who was like Zsa Zsa Gabor. Only the best of everything. I could not follow the advice if I wanted to. So many entangling chains of debt, usury and obligation it seemed impossible to get out of it all other than dying as early as possible to get the life insurance payout for my children’s sake.
Today, I don’t have those things anymore. I’m free.
This is my strategy at present. I am saving a little more and then I am going to live on my land. No bank, no debtors and no worries.
My father told me when I was young that when things got bad, I should go to the Appalachians. He was right. Shame about the big detour of forty years when I got out of the Army.
I am missing about two million dollars in revenue I made from 1990-2020 as a contractor that would have come in handy right now. Unfortunately I gave it all to my wife for our children.
That much money was never necessary to live the way I wanted to.
I never cared much for what others thought before I got married. My plan in New York city was to save my money and go buy a cheap place in the Catskills. It was all that I had dreamed of.
This book is the real red pill to get you out of the Matrix.
The notion that life is about getting onto the treadmill and walking off your usury debt that never gets paid back is a vision of life manufactured by lunatics. God did not make you for this.
I recommend this book from Paladin, it’s brilliant like all their publications but this one has a peculiar relevance to me nowadays.

That's me, though the wife raises the bar, somewhat.
