It does exist though. And it's a shame that it's become so rare that people question it's existence. Maybe not so much in this country, but I'd be fine going with my Mayan ancestors in the jungle in Southern Mexico.

It's not that I want a life free of debt, but rather a life where the only worries or obligations I have are ones that are necessary to living. I don't want to have to worry about some bullshit assignment or deadline or anything of that nature because those things DON'T MATTER. What matters is getting food, shelter, water, and the life lessons learned along the way. Personal spiritual growth is hindered when all of one's time is consumed by frivolous worries. "Who said what?" "Did you see that picture she posted?" "I don't know boss if I can have this ready in an hour." When did we fool ourselves that this was the way we were meant to live. I want to have a meaningful connection with the land. I want to know where my food comes from. I want to wake up with the sun and sleep with the moon. I want to travel wherever I want because I'll be able to know how to gather and prepare food. I want freedom from more than debt.
