Looking at how life is in america, i realize one can customize their life style to make it easy to live in the country. Especially when one is chained to debts , but also needing the strength and courage to over come with in years.
There are many ways to gain income , some of which can be hard and some are creatively easy. Buying and selling antiques in thrift stores, or recycling/ upcycling, making something new out of old, as they say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Lots of frees things out there that are thrown away every day. If you are not one of those people who thinks pick up discarded things is beneath you, then start it up with a creative mind. Record it and show people your creativity. This is just one example of many.
Just do some research and you will be surprised. But less junk food and cook your own, have few clothing and less désirable earthly materials also do t be a horder, if you dont need it throw it away.
