Lazy Days

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Lazy days remind me that we are spending too many other days trying to earn a dollar. It is alarming to think about how dependent we have become on government printed money. We literally can’t eat without a dollar, and this is a type of enslavement to our own government.

Fifty years ago, most of our parents, grandparents and great grands had access to their own gardens and free water supply. As a child, I can remember the hard work that went into maintaining a family garden but it was healthy eating and abundant.

For most of us now, we are too busy working to ever have time to grow our own food and sadly, the Boomers are in their late 70s to 80s. Many are no longer with us and their knowledge of subsistence is dying out with that great generation.

What will happen if we no longer have access to money? How would we survive? How would we pay for food to eat, water to drink, and a place to live? Even if you own a home, you have to pay yearly taxes to be able to live in your home. Taxes, I will save for another day but we have become a nation that is over taxed by not only the federal government but also our states, counties and our on cities. “We the people”has become we that work for the government to make a government issued dollar that is required to provide shelter and food for our needs.

To have a lazy day (if we are lucky enough to get a few here and there) requires many more working days but who are we really working for the majority of our life?

How many lazy days do we have at the end.. I meant at retirement? Oh and the elderly still pay different types of taxes, too. They also need shelter, food and water, too.
