We are one week out from Independence Day and it is time to start making your plans on what you are going to declare yourself independent from this year. We have already declared our independence from the King of England, so you will need to find some other arrogant rich person to target this year. I would suggest Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and the Ellisons as the perfect people to sever your ties with next week.

Pick one or more of their services and cut your ties with them on the 4th. Make a big production out of it and let others know that you are no longer going to be part of their wealth generating machine. Thoreau tells us that we are rich in proportion to the number of things we can let alone.
