The first thing I hope you notice at ExitTheEconomy.com is that I’m a real person. This website isn’t a business run by a large staff, it’s just me. So I can really only speak to my own experience when it comes to why I want to Exit The Economy and hopefully it resonates with you or sparks an idea to how you can do the same.
While this is titled The Whys and Why I’m doing this, I’d like to quickly go over some things. Everyone will have different whys and different mindsets of what they want to accomplish. It is almost 100% impossible to pull every penny you have from the economy at large — I won’t judge. I firmly believe in not letting perfection get in the way of progress. If we wait around for the 100% full proof plan we will never get anywhere in the meantime and there is no 100% full proof plan coming. Trust me on that.
I’ve made some big changes to my life over the last decade – I gave up smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, I attempt to keep added sugars to less than 20 grams per day and since October 12, 2024 I’ve not eaten any meat whatsoever. Though I believe attempting to exit the economy by and large will be the most difficult and most rewarding sacrifice I’m going to make.
The number one reason why I’m doing this is because I’m tired. I’m tired of seeing the idolization of trillionaire losers who control everything we see and read. I’m tired of podcast hosts telling us they know better than our health experts and I’m especially tired of being told not to believe what I saw with my own eyes and that even if I did see what I saw he only did it because he’s weird and he didn’t mean it.
I don’t have much power individually and neither do you but maybe together we can make a difference. Even if it’s just a small difference in our local economies for the better.
The second reason why is because I know I’m not alone. Other people want ideas on how to do something like this and they want to know they’re not alone either. So I’m going to do this for you, that’s why and for me that’s why too and for people I’ll never meet or even realize they visited this page.
I’m going to show how to move to different apps that aren’t owned by narcissist maniacs, how to get off Amazon as much as possible, how to take advantage of your local library and hell maybe once we figure out that our music streaming services are all sucking the teat of the party in power I’ll discuss sailing the high seas once again or where to buy used compact disc players and vinyl record players so we can enjoy our music without funding their garbage.
I’m doing this to take back what little power I have to vote with my dollar, to not let them have it. Maybe with a little of my power and a little of yours and a little of everyone who believes in this idea we can change things on a local scale, a national scale or a world wide scale. Who knows for sure? I certainly don’t but at the end of it all I don’t want to have to ask myself Why I didn’t try.
