Would you live without electricity for a year for a million bucks?

I don't think I could do that. I'd go insane if I had to go off the grid for that long

Hmm I think I could do it. I would spend my time reading books and working out.

went over a week without it a little over a year ago.  Wouldn't wish it on anyone

I have enough books in my back log that I haven't read yet which would easily last over a year. So, yeah, I would do it if I was offered that deal.

So long as there is running water, toilet, toilet paper, gas (as in natural gas) appliances? Sure. It would suck without airconditioning. But, there's plenty of rivers and creeks where I'm at. I can live without a fridge, telephone, TV, or internet. Most of my days will be spent fishing or doing watersports which is fine.

I could do it easily. I would just dissapear in the mountains for a year, no problem.

But I wouldn't want to because I like my electricity.

Definitely.

Yeah, I'd be fine.

Yes deal with it to make the rest of my life alot better it would be like getting a one year prison service but you get a million dollars when you get out and your not stuck in a cage the whole time!

I could only do it in place like a California Desert. Electricity for heating is needed in a cold climate. Not many people have fireplaces these days. Plus in a desert a cold shower would be welcomed.

a million dollars for 1 year. But do to inflation it should be 2.5 million in 2013. to be worth it.

hell yeah, that'd be kind of a blessing in disguise, not counting the money.  I'd problably be forced to take care of my personal life a bit more

quick question, though: I we speaking solely of no electricity at my place of living, or no electricity and electronic gadgets period?  I.e. would I still have access to a cell phone while working and be able to interact with electronics outside of my house?  

At first I thought yes.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize I couldn't. You wouldn't even have a fridge....

ughhh yeah, I would probably go to a buddhist temple retreat for a year and come back. Easy Million

off the grid (can generate my own) or without electricity altogether?comp_atkins

At first I thought yes.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize I couldn't. You wouldn't even have a fridge....

For 1 year? Hell yes!!!!!

It would only suck for the first month. Anyone who says no and already isn't well off is an idiot.

People somehow managed to survive without electricity for thousands of years. However would I manage? lol

i don't know that is possible but i would.

I could do it if my career didn't depend on it.

Otherwise I'd read, write, work out, and play various instruments to pass the time. Maybe learn some cooking/outdoors skills.

you don't need to refrigerate cheese unless you plan on holding on to it for more than a few days.

I do plan on holding on to it for more than a few days, along with other foods that ought to be refrigerated.

what about batteries? could we use them?

if so, then absolutely

No. I need internet.

Most Amish in my neighborhood already use very limited amounts of electricity (mostly for lighting) and some still don't use any at all. No electricity? We'd fit right in. :lol:

Absolutely.
