The true reason I left corporate America to bake baklava & clean toilets for Bitcoin was taxes. I don't talk about this often, but maybe I should.

I felt sick looking at my paycheck and seeing taxes deducted. I was angry about all the endless wars waged by the US gov via fiat currency.

I found happiness in a life earning much less, paying basically no taxes. I could be *much* wealthier today, but it would come at too great an expense.

Anyone else relate to this autistic as fuck way of living?

I went down the Agorism rabbit hole. I was also heavily influenced by the book "Your Money or Your Life."

I noticed many people with higher paying jobs are broke because that income gets taxed at a higher rate, and they often pay more for housing.

Then, their savings is taxed via inflation and they end up working 12 hours a day for credit card debt and stuff that will end up in a landfill within 5 years.

It's getting harder to live on a lower income these days, however. The government redistributed too much wealth for those of us with lower incomes to sustain ourselves so I'm brainstorming different business models.
