You may have heard about the new way that the IRS will be monitoring income from “side hustles” and such. Another example of government continuing to grow larger and larger and get involved in every aspect of your life. This will affect me as well as I sell things on this website and will have to look at the financial implications of this new reporting. The bottom line for me is there are millions of people out there with side businesses trying to get something going – and it will become more expensive to do so as well as provide a disincentive for people to even attempt to go into business for themselves.
I’d like nothing better than to take all my money out of the bank and do nothing but cash transactions. Unfortunately – at least for me – that is not realistic. As someone in the market to purchase land and potentially retreat property, bank financing will likely be required.

Welcome to A Survival Story. What follows is a fictional daily journal written by "Jed". Jed is a 39-year-old man who lives in the small city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Jed recently started thinking about his life and the mistakes he has made. He has decided to start keeping a journal to organize his thoughts and try to understand not only where he has been but where his life is going. Jed begins this journal at a time in his life when he is considering whether he will ever meet "the one" and has just scheduled a trip to attend his 20-year high school reunion.
Jed is relatively physically fit as he has been working out with weights, takes martial arts, and rides his mountain bike periodically on some light trails. He would like to lose about 15-20 pounds but is not overly concerned about it. Jed is 5' 10" tall and 205 pounds with very short brown hair. Both his parents have passed and his younger brother Eric moved in with him a couple months ago. Jed has always felt the need to care for his brother since his parents are no longer around. He has been an active survivalist for the last several years - especially since 9/11. He has stocked up on a lot of supplies with an emphasis on the basics of "beans, bullets, and band-aids". The few people that know of Jed's concern for the future dismiss his "prepping" as a hobby and a fad. Jed takes it seriously, however, he is not fanatical about it and enjoys many of life's comforts like anyone else. Jed recently purchased a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler 4-door - a rare splurge for himself.
See how Jed and his community deal with multiple attacks across the United States. Here we begin....... a survival story.
Each book comes personally signed by the author.
Disturbing news but not surprising at all. Socialist’s are good at spending
other peoples money.
couple thoughts
One .. being off grid altogether AFTER you had an electronic footprint is “fishy” unless ur dead.
Two .. Until they take an active role in all the money leaving the US South and East (mid east) .. Zello, Western Union, dwali… etc I don’t care what they want and probably not then.
Three .. Side hustles should be cash if it is a side hustle.. Or it’s a second Job.
Four .. Barter is fine unless you can’t carry or transport/store whatever it is.
Five … I am sick to death of being bled dry and will stem the flow in whatever method I deem necessary…Legal is not always moral or fair.. there is only so much of that red stuff in me (as a metaphor) before I am dead and that is not in my best interests
