The more dependent you are, the less free you are. \u00a0A couple of weeks ago, I\u00a0wrote an article<\/a>\u00a0about how our system is designed to beat us down and make us weak and dependent, because when we are weak and dependent we are easier to control. \u00a0Most of us don\u2019t even realize why the majority of the population is so sick, exhausted, depressed and confused much of the time. \u00a0Our bodies, our minds and our spirits are constantly being poisoned by the system, and those that are in control of the system know exactly what they are doing. If you value independent living, you will want to break free from this oppression. \u00a0If you do not choose to break free, you could end up under the oppression of their system for your entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, for many people inertia seems like the easiest option. \u00a0It is just so easy to keep doing what you have always done, and that is especially true once you get older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are you going to do once the system that you have become so dependent upon starts to crumble all around you?<\/p> Over the past several years, our world has been getting increasingly unstable. \u00a0Major wars have erupted, the cost of living has become very painful, pestilences have been raging all over the globe, and historic natural disasters have been hitting us one after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The chaos that we are experiencing now is just going to intensify in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what will most people do when the system that they depend on for their survival is shaken to the core?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following are 12 simple things that you can start doing right now to become more independent of the system\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 Become Less Dependent On Your Job<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For most people, having a job essentially means living in a state of \u201cjust over broke\u201d.\u00a0 The truth is that it is incredibly difficult to become financially independent working for someone else.\u00a0 Of course most Americans would not be able to survive without a job, but you don\u2019t want to settle for just surviving. \u00a0I know that it can be exceedingly difficult to find the energy for a \u201cside hustle\u201d while you are working a full-time job, but a \u201cside hustle\u201d can eventually evolve into a full-time income. \u00a0If you want to live free, it is so important to explore alternate sources of income and different ways to build wealth. \u00a0And the truth is that\u00a0any jobs we have now could easily disappear when economic conditions take a turn for the worse. \u00a0But if you have put in the effort to build up a \u201cside hustle\u201d, at least you will still have that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #2 Get Out Of Debt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The borrower is the servant of the lender. \u00a0If you want to live free, get out of debt. \u00a0No matter how far you try to run,\u00a0your debts are going to continue to hang over you wherever you go.\u00a0 Getting out of debt can be completely and totally liberating.\u00a0 It will give you much more freedom and will make you far less dependent on your job.\u00a0 In fact, many Americans are already moving in this direction.\u00a0 Why not join them?\u00a0 When things start really falling apart and it is difficult for anyone to find a good job, the last thing you will want is a huge amount of debt hanging over your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 Reduce Expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For decades, most Americans have been living far beyond their means.\u00a0 In the future, times are going to be really tough and we are all going to have to learn to tighten our belts.\u00a0 Do you and your family waste money right now?\u00a0 If you can eliminate that, you can live on a smaller income and you will have more money to invest in the things that are really going to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #4 Purchase Land<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Real estate is a lot more expensive than it once was, but the truth is that you don\u2019t want to wait forever to get your hands on a piece of land.\u00a0 When the system completely crumbles, you don\u2019t want to be stuck in a heavily populated area with no place to go.\u00a0 You always want to have somewhere that you can \u201cbug out\u201d to if things hit the fan. \u00a0In addition, owning real estate is a great way to build wealth. \u00a0In some of the most desirable areas of the country that are not heavily populated, real estate prices have doubled or even tripled in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 Learn To Grow Your Own Food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another reason why you want to purchase some land is so that you will have somewhere to grow your own food if that becomes necessary. \u00a0100 years ago, almost everyone knew how to grow their own food, and most people also knew how to raise farm animals.\u00a0 Today, relatively few Americans have those skills.\u00a0 A great way to begin is by starting your own \u201csurvival garden\u201d.\u00a0 If you are not already doing this, why not start this upcoming spring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 Find A Reliable Source Of Clean Water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know what they are putting into your water? \u00a0In many parts of the country, tap water is absolutely teeming with all sorts of nasty stuff. \u00a0Drinking pure water is an easy change that anyone can make, and it can have a dramatic impact on your health. \u00a0In addition, water is going to become a very, very valuable resource in the years to come.\u00a0 It will be absolutely key for you and your family to have a dependable source of clean drinking water.\u00a0 If you do not have water, you will not be able to survive for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #7 Explore Alternative Energy Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you noticed that your power bill just keeps going up? \u00a0In some states, people are being hit with power bills that exceed $1,000 a month. \u00a0Of course you may not be able to depend upon the power company at all once things get bad enough. \u00a0The truth is that there are very good reasons why so many Americans have been trying to go \u201coff the grid\u201d.\u00a0 Without power, life gets really difficult very quickly.\u00a0 But if you are generating your own power then you won\u2019t have to worry about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #8 Store Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every time there is a major disaster or emergency, store shelves get empty really fast.\u00a0 If an extended national emergency results in supply chains being disrupted on a long-term basis, you may have to get by on what you already have in your home.\u00a0 So do you and your family have enough food and supplies to survive for an extended period of time? \u00a0If you don\u2019t know where to start, there are guides\u00a0that can help get you started<\/a>. \u00a0In America today, there are millions of \u201cpreppers\u201d, and the \u201cprepping\u201d industry has been thriving. \u00a0But of course most of the population just assumes that they will always be able to depend upon the system for what they need, and someday those people will be in for a very rude awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #9 Protect Your Assets With Gold And Silver<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our leaders have been flooding the system with money for many years, and so it was only a matter of time before we experienced rampant inflation. \u00a0The cost of living has been absolutely soaring, and that isn\u2019t going to change any time soon. \u00a0One way to protect yourself is by getting some gold and silver. \u00a0In the future, your paper money may not buy much for you at all, but if you have some gold and silver coins you can always exchange them for the things that you are going to need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #10 Learn Self-Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you remember the riots that happened all over the country just a few years ago? \u00a0Well, the truth is that what we will see in the future will be far worse than that. \u00a0When people get desperate enough, they will literally do just about anything to survive. \u00a0Just think about it. \u00a0What do you think is going to happen once people living in densely-populated areas have been without food for two or three days?\u00a0 Now is the time to think about how you will defend your home and your property from crazed looters.\u00a0 It is not a fun thing to think about, but unfortunately we are heading into times that will not always be pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![](\"https:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Wise-Wolf-800x373-1.png\"\/)
