Of course you mean the lifestyle that is available here. But not mine. I live way out in the country, with my truck broken down for one year now. A ride to town for groceries costs $20 if someone wants to do it. No running water, no hot water, no ice box, no electricity to plug in. Hauled in water costs $50 for 200 gallons, twice each month. No blackberry, no iphone, no xbox, no TV or radio. Just a cell phone and cheap computer. Wireless Internet is $50, some months I couldn't pay. All I have is very little social security retirement, which will probably reduce. Life is what you make it, but all I want to do is build things and experiment. No money from that, only hoping someone will be happy if I give away everything I find. Usually all I get is I'm stupid and a liar. Two or three times in 12 years someone said thank you. Going off line is a good option.
