My career is trucking. I drive coast to coast all 48 states and canada. I went off grid a few years ago by selling a mobile home that was in an urban area. I can’t tell you how much relief I’ve felt since I eliminated those bills. I also sold my car and pickup and bought a 1984 GMC 7 passeger 3/4 ton van. I am working on eliminating my debt. I was as deep as 45,000 now down to 10,000. I have almost decided to remain off-grid forever. Off grid not only from electricity but from most everything.
However my current plans after debt is paid off is to save cash for a lot, a well used mobile home, moving and setup cost. After this I will consider more offgrid dwelling construction. The mobile home will simply be a base, something that in the future I may rent out and I may not use the grid much while living there.
