  1. Lower standards
  2. Buy shitty small rural house built nearly 200 years ago
  3. Spend any and all free time & money learning the skills & buying the tools to strip it down and rebuild it. All of it is online. Do it quietly and you won't have to pull permits. Hold yourself to a higher standard than what a permit will allow and you'll be fine.
  4. Continue to invest in yourself and your skills. You will become a rich person if you do this, if not in money, then knowledge. The earlier you can do this, the more value will compound off of your skillset.

It's not fun but it's possible for myself, born 98. Got my little slice and the sunsets and stars are sure damn pretty out in the boonies. Gotta deal with the rednecks & general small mindedness though.

How do you steal something that is infinitely reproducible?

If you have an apple and I steal it, you cannot eat the apple.

If you have a movie, I can copy it and you can still watch it.

Say for instance, there was a magic apple machine that copied apples infinitely with zero loss. If not intentionally destroyed, access to this machine would be restricted by the first party with enough capital to acquire and protect it. Using the machine to copy apples would also be considered stealing.

How so?

I have 32tb, bit overkill 8 tb HDD ~$180 X4= $720

Netflix (no ads) 22.99 22.99/720=31.3

As long as you use it for 3 or so years, it pays for itself. The only difference is you have both the hardware and the movies forever.

Don't have kids then. Much more free time.

I don't understand

  1. Making the deliberate choice of having kids
  2. Complaining about missing out on other things because of said kids

I could waste my time explaining or you could Google it. Long story short is that there are many ways to send information that don't involve the internet at all, and you'd have to get a mid 90s car if you didn't want any data sent at all. They got worse in around 2012 when more protocols were added as well
