Oh my! Following you both now...
We are trying to make the path for our descendants to stay "off grid" for lack of a better term... You are way behind us in some ways, we are pretty good at feeding us off our land. You are way ahead of us in THE critical way... We put our kids in school. They are adults now, and the oldest has her kids in school... They are probably forever "lost" to us, although we keep enough food and shelter to take them in if / when SHTF. The youngest is more awake, plans to home school but is still hooked into the system. He is a medical professional, and cannot imagine cutting that fiat cord...
Congratulations on giving your children the gift of THINKING. I did not wake up in time, but we hope the grandkids will be able to see the wisdom in carrying on what we start here (permaculture / food forest.)

@fishyculture, thanks for the affirmation. It's not easy to live with free-thinking children! But I don't regret giving them this option for sure.
I'm going to try to buckle down and take the feeding-us side of things more seriously & get us out of the supermarket.
I've followed you too.
It only takes sewing a little seed of thought, letting your people know that school isn't compulsory ... and also, it is becoming more and more popular. Hopefully, your grandkids will homeschool.
I think the fiat cord has gotten a little easier for us to contemplate cutting in the UK due to Brexit. Watching our money losing value is scary and I think we've become aware we are vulnerable to political decisions that really DO add up to our money being worth a lot less and food costing a LOT more. We are not out of Europe yet and we can feel the knock-on effects keenly enough. A bit like homeschooling though, a lot of people don't even know about crypto.
