I have no doubt it can be done! The closest I've come to knowing anybody off the grid was a couple that lived out side of Flagstaff, AZ. Their solar panels charged their batteries which ran everything.
Or it could be like a permanent camping trip I suppose!
We put up a swamp cooler and...
we did, we had a lady come and give us an estimates and various ways of doing solar panels, what a joke......... we can buy a lot of electricty for the 30--to 60-- grand, dependant on what plan we would have chosen. I suspect for new building, it might be more economical...
I am also going if one comes near me ..........
I saw on Glen Beck and I can't remember who said it that if you send a tea bag they just get thrown away and nobody sees it b/c of security issues, to just send a tag or a photo.
Thats been my motto for years! Ha, Ha.
That is exactly what it was like, and I felt terrible cashing out. HOWEVER, losing it all seemed even sillier, I had forgotten about the 59 age thing, thats why I didn't have a penalty.
Thats the way I felt too.......... I didn't pay a penalty, only taxes. I will say, that all the advice I received was to leave it alone and not cash out. Its a hard decision.

Did you get the Jeep Cherokee? My daughter has had 2, what a reliable vehicle! Her last one (can't remember the year) she got when it had a 150,000 miles on it, drove it for 6 years and last year traded it as part of a down payment on her mobile home!
Did I read somewhere that sugar and boric acid will make an ant poison that the ants will take back to the nest and it wipes out the colony?
We have ants (the odiforous kind) so bad this year you almost can't find a spot to stand without being stung, the trees are also crawling with them.
inchworm I was a teen in the 60's, I saw the protests on TV just like you do now, they did not change everyday life. The only thing every day about the hippies were parents that didn't like long hair. Kennedy was the first Catholic president, people adapted quickly. I remember hearing the...
Good Question Wifezilla!
