Living off the Grid

For the Amish, “off the grid” isn’t a trendy weekend challenge—it’s daily life. Technology, with all its buzzes, beeps, and upgrades, is a solid no. This means no power-draining gadgets, streaming subscriptions, or panic over the latest phone model. Why? They believe tech distracts from community and faith, and let’s be honest, it’s hard to have FOMO when you don’t even know what you’re missing.

This tech-free lifestyle comes with a silver lining: major savings, no internet bills, no pricey electronics, and no constant need for replacements. The Amish show that living unplugged keeps costs down, peace up, and wallets happily fuller than a Wi-Fi-free weekend.
