Consider keeping a larger portion of the money you send to the front

Yeah. The divorce cleaned me out. Unfortunately, I'm still employed and taxes are removed from my paycheck whether I like it or not. Over 50% of those taxes go to feeding the war machine. I can't choose where the funds are expended. And my vote doesn't mean shit in a rigged system.

I gotta eat, feed two kitties and get my daughter through college.

I'd need about $15k to be broke. I'm sure I ain't the only one.

Won't that just end up making you even more broke down the line when the IRS finds out and start piling on fees?

I have no debt and will never get a credit card other than to run it up and not pay it. But yeah. Broke.

I had this idea once to get the entire neighborhood onto a single credit card or account and everyone would pay into it. Clearly that went nowhere. I also would go around my old building and knock on all the doors asking if they wanted anything from Costco and we'd all split it up. Yeah, nobody wanted anything to do with it. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to sharing. People look at me like I'm a retard when I want to share and people who have absolutely nothing look at me as though I am an asshole when I have no cash or change on me. Hate to say it but capitalism needs to be banned or modified in some way.

I want to stop rendering unto Caesar. But Caesar will see to it that I'm thrown into the iron cage.
