I have never paid rent or utilities or electricity.

Currently live off grid on land I own using solar power. We have all electric appliances. Generator uses propane but only use it 1-2 times a year so it’s rare to refill the tank.

The dump is only a few dollar when we take our trash (under $10) every few months.

Self host on a NAS, have home assistant that helps a ton with power monitoring and control.

My goal in a few years is to provide almost all my needs from my own land. Food, water, shelter, power, etc.
