Many choose to live a rushed non-stop lifestyle as financial logic overthrows common sense and emotional logic.
The poor, often the hardest workers to pay the bills who sometimes have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet....
Yet day after day the poor are the ones having to fight tooth and nail for a planet not destroyed by the greed of the wealthy.
Often I wonder
How many super wealthy ppl can clean their own house or cook their own food?
How many raise their own kids instead of sending them off to private schools and private tutors?
Meanwhile as technology advances faster then we can keep up with it many of them dream of an automated future where everything happens in an instant without thinking through any reprocussions, with a complete disregard for our planet or the creator.
These days following science's advancement in genetics and gene editing we have been whisked off by wealthy investers funding immoral practices that do not take into account longterm causes and effects.
"Have you seen that science is doing _______!"
Oh... thats interesting.
But....
Why?
"because they can."
"Um... ok? What about the potential horrible causes and effects that could come from that?"
"What are you, anti-science?!"
"No, I'm pro gratitude for the reality that exist without egostistical humans playing creator."
As our planet requires us to maintain a simple balance for all its given us to sustain us over the centuries we are invoking the 'self sufficient challenge' to bring people back to earth.
Learning how our planet functions is crutial to us respecting her and same goes for the sun and all the light provided for us to exist at all.
This doesn't mean we ALWAYS have to do everything ourselves.
My main rules are:
- NO maids or buttlers or Nanies to do the regular daily household tasks for you.
2.No private chefs at home.
Learn to cook, and be grateful for all the food and where it has to come from to be on our plate.
We all know how going out to dinner is always a fun change from the routine. We know first hand that it is frustrating to do these things for ourselves ALL the time.
By occasionally visiting somewhere else way we also get to support and help sustain small business's. (Or big chains I guess... xD)
But honestly imo, nothing feels more rewarding then making/cleaning/doing all these things for ones self at the end of the day.

I dream of living off no more then 15000 a year and donating the rest of my earnings to help others and various other good causes.
Don't like paying taxes,^
but still want to help fund public things?
There's my self sustainability challenge!
We'll elaborate on wht 15000 a year in our next post
