Jake 420 is right. Short of being self sufficient on a piece of land there is little you can do to dodge work/taxes. I suggest reducing your expenses to start and rolling back the desire for "showy" material goods. I have learned that nature and cannabis are all a human being requires for enlightenment and that the "Hippy" sub-culture who have learned to live with less are very much on the right track both materially and spiritually (They also seem much happier than Mister 9-5 Cubicle). Unfortunatley the situation is made 10X harder when wives/girlfriends and children are involved since there needs must be considered as well. I have chosen the life of a spiritual loner but it is certainly not for everyone.
