Hello everyone

New to the forum. Fan of the fire movement and Jacob Lund Fisker. I could probably ERE a few times over at the moment but with family, etc, etc....it's complicated and I feel like my mind is a bit too enmeshed in the matrix. One way I am trying to get out is by figuring out how to significantly reduce my expenses or gain control over my expenses
Currently working on changing my transportation to mostly Ebikes, bike, car share, small cars (which are harder and harder to find). It finally dawned on me the enormous sum of money an expensive large car cost over time. If you invested the money into the stock market instead of purchasing a car plus the yearly upkeep and gasoline (also invested instead) it comes to hundreds of thousands of dollars
Storing my excess solar into something affordable like the ecoflow batteries.
Heat. Maybe a heat pump but would also love to figure out how to store heat from very hot wood fire, ie a rocket stove but in a much smaller form factor.
As far as food goes, I feel like I have that covered. As a vegetarian my families food bill is already probably 3 times lower than an average similar household.
Anyway, I look forward to learning and being pulled out of my current institutionalized mindset.
