Peter Hurley

The goal is to work and provide happiness for yourself not the federal government

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is important to remember that every time their is a problem you don't have to run to the store to find a quick, and usually expensive, solution. This books helps people understand that not all work is quantifiable by the irs. I keep this in mind when making any financial transactions. The goal is to work and provide happiness for yourself not the federal government. Sometimes putting in the effort is worth the reward, except most people have forgotten what effort is. They lose sight of the importance of learning how to fix things themselves or home cooked meals. Just because you don't have a formal salary doesn't mean you can't work to better your lot. Many of the insights here will follow the sense of conservatism people acquired from living in the Great Depression. Sadly, some people refuse to take lessons from others and will only learn through hardship. Be smart and read this book.

Great care given to package the book. In great condition, much appreciated.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

This was a very enjoyable book. It opened my eyes to how to prepare to live without a salary;the joys and the concerns. It was also a very motivating book and helped to change your thinking about earning/living off a salary. The best comment made in the book was,"who said ambition has to come from your job". I have always been an amibitious person and living without a salary may make you seem less ambitious or lazy but from reading this I now understand that there are many ways to live and derive value from life and not just from what I do to earn money. It has alot of great ideas and funny stories and will open you eyes.

Learn to grow things, build basics.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Save your money while you work, buy some land, work the land by growing things learning how to build essential things - then, maybe you can survive without a salary. It also helps to buy second hand as much as possible, stop eating in restaurants, and learning how to be frugal in general. You will always need some income for taxes, medical, and gas. Read Mother Earth News mags for better ways to get off the grid.

Practical advice

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

I thought this book was very practical and enjoyable. I gives the reader ideas on how to live with less money, (beginning with a mindset change of "conserver" v. "consumer,") without being "politically" oriented towards an off-grid existence. Good reading for anyone who finds themselves wanting to remove themselves from the 9-to-5 rat race, wanting to be less involved in the "keep up with the Jones'" culture, or make less of an imprint on the planet.

Reinforced my intention.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

Most of the material in this book was stuff I already knew. It reinforced my intention to proceed with my lifestyle choices, and there were a couple of tips that will save me much more money than the cost of the book. It badly needs updating, though.

The book has some good ideals in it. I do not believe that the writer could live without a salary. This is worth a read.

This book is from the 90's. I didn't care for the author's writing style. Plus the first 15 pages were unreadable.

Rural Athenian

How To Survive

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

Charles Long's book could just as easily have stopped at the first three words as what he writes has a very universal application. My test of a book is whether or not I would pass it on and whether I have made any personal footnotes about the book. This book succeeds with flying colours. It is replete with painfully sensible questions and intelligent discussion of possible answers. Instead of being preachy it allows the reader to draw their own conclusions. It is a philosophical treatise with very pragmatic underpinnings. I would commend it to anyone dreamily thinking of escaping to the country to live a mythical rural lifestyle. It is there indeed, but there are also some ruts in the road and the biggest one may be unrealistic attitudes. I am biased about this book as I read it shortly before retiring to what had been an abandoned century home devoid of electricity or indoor plumbing. I came away with a more sound understanding of what I was getting into and what would be some of the 'challenges' or disasters.
I have gone on to read two of Mr Long's other books on Backyard Stonebuilder, and Escaping the City, which is a further endorsement of his jocular, practical approach to living way out here!
