Been living the lifestyle you’re talking about for more or less the last thirty years—since I left home. Except the travel part, which I pretty much got out of my sustem by the time I was 20 (1981-82!), w/an 8-country, Europe- Canadadia-Belize tour. Alaska has been my working vacation, after Florida for an edumacation-vacation—for 9 years! During this time I bought and sold a house(the rent helped pay for my school/living expenses), and a business(a Tallahassee bar in the early 90′s w/my my broseph Geist), and have avoided credit cards the entire time. I own a pair of bank accounts, a debit card, all my stuff is 100% owned by me, no debt, and I have almost zero overall debt, and have since I paid off the house in 13 years(on a 30-year note). Just the way I like to do things; it’s easier to remember, and without the need to be hooked into the Great Society and it’s ubiquitous business computer tie-in mentality. I use these babies for research and infotainment almost exclusively. I like what you have to say, but you sound a little Euro-idealistic-angry (angsty). The best revenge is living well, my Mighty Brother. SHOW us The Way, lead by example, stay motivated, help the Sistren and Brethren off the road to perdition and dependence and onto the scenic Road Less Travelled—through your music!!! I, too, want to travel and cause the world-wide masses to stomp out their frustrations in a night of revelrous, purgifying, good old-fashioned dancification, chanting to the hills, mountains and ultimately heavens their daily frustrations, and offering them a primer on an alternate I like to call Nirvanahemia, or Bohemavana. (Mebbe Bohemavana works/sings better.) Keep the home fires burning, Sean. Soon other like-minded souls will belly up to the warming flames, BUT THEY LIKE TO SEE IT AT WORK AND SUCCESSFUL FIRST.

Show us The Way…
