🦾 Everything we own
Melius Humano,
We sold nearly everything we owned on the Facebook marketplace (Allison is a pro at this if anyone wants her to sell for you).
We looked into a POD. Shipping to North Carolina was $6000. Then I looked up the price of a trailer: $5000. I was already in the market for a new truck, as my Mitsubishi was on its last legs.
Buying a trailer, getting a $100 adjustable hitch, and driving across the country was cheaper. She also insisted that we move her plant collection. I would have liked to sell everything, but part of our compromise is that she keeps her plants.
We’re in Florida for a few weeks and then drive to the Carolinas. We’re looking at a few cities: Greenville, Colombia, Raleigh, and Charlotte.
We will stay in each city for a bit before picking one. Then, rent for 3 or 6 months while looking for a plot of land to build on. Ideally, it is 5-25 acres and 30 minutes from a major city, so I don’t stir crazy.
Another benefit of simplifying is we can leave the country in a day if necessary. If inflation gets out of control, we’ll explore other places to live where our purchasing power goes a long way. (And where the food is not toxic.)
In a way, we’re living the Sovereign Individual Thesis.
We have Bitcoin, passports, and mobility.
Most importantly, we have the mindset that we need to take action.
Think about all the times throughout history that millions of everyday people became prisoners of their oppressive governments or became stuck in the middle of a war.
Today, you can leave well before shit gets wild.
We already had a taste of it with covid. You couldn't enter or leave without a medical permission slip. It was bad, but it could have been a lot worse. Students of history know how bad it can get.
Most people don’t realize the power of being able to cross any border with your wealth stored in your head (all you need is a seed phrase). It’s beyond surface-level understanding—you have to think about it, read about it, study it, and then implement it yourself to truly understand the power.
That’s why hardcore Bitcoiners see things so clearly and have so much conviction.
You don’t have to think the world is going to end to see the benefits of mobility.
The rich already do it. They have multiple homes and passports. They come and go. And they will be the first to “go on vacation” somewhere else the second shit gets squirrely.
I took a 24-bar box on our road trip
