Make It Stop
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
I was at the post office when me and this other brother almost bumped into each other. He was eager to mail off a bill and I was eager to mail off some books. He stopped and said sorry brother I have to pay the bills. I smiled and said until we figure out how to own the company that bills someone else. He smiled hopped in his pickup and turned and burned up the block. I sat there for a second thinking I guess the bills don’t stop until we do something to make it stop!
Bills are always seen by cats who will never leave the plantation as a necessary evil. Whether that be gas, electric, gasoline, cable, water, rent and mortgage. I myself get tired of them so I pay everything up 6 months in advance so I don’t see that damn bill fvcking up day at the mailbox. Now in California cats are installing solar panels, catching rain water, installing satellites and overall trying to get the hell off the grid. I guess since I’m from that soil my brain thinks the same way as I know for damn sure I don’t want to be part of the pay massa plan for the rest of my life.
So as I sat there at the post office parking lot I thought to myself this shit will never end. Cats say death and taxes are for sure but so are most of the bills we have to pay to survive. Isn’t that a trip that the game got us paying to drink water and overall live our lives. Cats are facing credit card seizures, power outages, tax liens and all kinds of hell when they don’t want to participate in the devils scheme. My only remedy to make it stop is to make a hell of a lot of money.
I guess I’ll get my money up and buy a house on some land with a well, install solar panels and get a me Tesla electric car when it’s all said and done. I hate these growing up means you are another customer who can’t escape the matrix so be an adult and pay your bills on time shit. I have to find a way to make it stop!

Interesting points. I’m at a point where I’d like to do similar (home-ownership, partially/completely off the grid, etc.). I’d like to grow a lot of my food (fruit, veggies, “Mary Jane”) as well as prepare it (breads, pastas, etc.). I may sound like a Southern Living article, but that lifestyle is very enticing, especially when greenbacks are involved.
LOL now I didn’t include Mary Jane in my off the grid example!
When you can’t really leave the only thing left for a person to do is not participate. In all games we can’t win that seems to be the answer. On the road to becoming self sufficient you slowly do everything in your power. Now it doesn’t mean you won’t go to the store but probably for things you can’t produce yourself. So slowly you are spending less and less money to the point where your life is in your control.
Southern Living article or not it’s just the natural evolution of things. Right now they paint the picture that you will be living in some run down barn making your own moonshine and preserving peaches. But, in reality you can do this while living quite well.
Hmmm…growing vegetables and baking bread? That’s an interesting idea. Definitely would save money. When I get the house, I may have to kick up some dirt and try that out.
Living off the radar as much as possible is definitely the way to go.
Fruit trees, bread and vegetables are all within our control. Plus it’ll be fresh and believe me fresh bread is way better than the crap at the supermarket.
I prefer to think of it as unplugging from the grid. If you had solar panels in the summer the sun would be enough to damn near get rid of a AC bill of you running it full blast. That’s why I never understand why cats who live in the desert just don’t do it anyway.
Expenses are the problem! Stuff that you cannot pay off. I.E. cable, car insurance, etc. I’m paying off debt now but people have to watch those expenses.
Yeah, without those expenses you would be very very free. Somehow you have to pay to play in this game. If you can do for self you probably don’t generate any taxes. If you get off the grid you enjoy all the amenities without any skin in the game.
There are states that outlaw cats doing some of these things because they don’t want everyone collecting rainwater to water their lawns, solar panels to heat/cool thier house and electric cars to not use any gasoline. The deeper you dig into this angle the more you see it’s bigger than we think!
You don’t have wait to bake bread, it is very easy and the only time is to let it rise! I can’t eat store bought bread anymore my system can tell the difference and the blood sugar crash is something else. Even stoping at at a sub-shop it has to be fresh bread.
I know there are bread makers you can buy for pretty cheap. I don’t eat that much except maybe on my turkey sandwich for lunch.
Now TK c’mon I’m a guy and I don’t want to do anything that can’t be fixed and ready to eat within 5 minutes. I had to get off the prepackage shit so I wouldn’t die from sodium and preservatives.
Real men cook Freeman, we chicks,dig it!
I cook the hell out of Hamburger Helper. I add my own spices to the spice pack and Viola instant edible packaged processed pasta. Just like Olive Garden! LMBAO
Bro I just stumbled upon this website and man I can’t thank you enough for the knowledge you spit. I watched doomsday preppers and got a little inspired. Im in the process of buying a HUD home and when I’m done, I’m getting solar panels and a small wind turbine. I’m dropping the fuck off the grid as soon as I can. It’s not that hard to cut bills, I plan in getting an electric furnace and water heater and saying bye to the gas company and electric company. Pre paid cell phones and family plans keeps those bills low, and who needs cable when they broadcast so many hd channels for free now? Anyway I got some serious diggin around on here since I’m an unemployed stay at home dad. I need some bread ASAP.
Welcome Clay – If you grew up without all of this crap you know it’s unnecessary. Now I don’t know about building a bunker but if you get it done at least you’ll be prepared for the end of the world.
Little by little people are realizing they don’t need these big companies. All the products used to be really expensive but China cranks them out for cheap so the prices will keep falling.
Check out the quick hustles section or the Start up category. I’m sure there’s something in there you can do that will make money on the side and have you in the Black again!
