CreatingCommunes

Turns out that starting your own commune is hard. We’ll update this blog as we navigate the complexities of going off the grid.

What is the worst thing that could happen if I quit right now? Like right now. Everyone in this meeting would probably agree with me. How cathartic. 3 months left in my lease. I have the money for that. After that, I’ll become a hermit. Vagabond? Classy, mysterious drifter. That would be better than this. Anything would...

“Yes, I have that prepared, let me share my screen.”

Another Tuesday begins.

Sitting on zoom scheming for a way out. How could I get rich quick? What spending habits can I give up to save more? What am I willing to forgo to regain my time? To stop not respond to that email asking me to change the font size on slide 4?

If you made it this far and I don’t sound dramatic to you, you’re one of us.

Our goal -- to get ourselves from angsty, whiny capitalist wage slaves to independent alternative lifestyle pioneers who follow through on the rants their family members are sick of hearing over again.

    What do we want?

    Where do we want him?
        THE GUILLOTINE

What do we really want? I will speak for myself. I want to be on a path toward financial independence so I can spend my time working on projects that I care about at my discretion, instead of out of necessity with anxiety.

How are we going to do this?

        Creating
            Communes

Pulling together like minded friends to own our land and livelihood. Creating our homes and a community on our land to escape the rat race. Tiny homes, shared spaces, necessities and space to play. Is that so much to ask? Here, we begin to figure it out.

Hello!

??? So Many Questions

Where should we buy land? Should we grow food? What's an acre? How many acres do we need? How many people will be there? What utilities do we need? Where does a septic tank go? Will we need a well as well? Should we have a blog explaining our journey?

At least that last question has been answered -- welcome.
