I've been doing this only it's a 'don't buy anything new' thing and I'm 5 years into it. It's a way of life now. I cut up all credit cards and closed my bank accounts too. Also left my job and now I farm and grow my own food. I never make more than I put into running things here so I no longer pay income tax. This has worked out great. How is it going?
