The Vision (Rough Math)
If Netflix were a subscription service that bought people houses... in its first year it brought in enough money to buy six houses for people at the current median cost of a home in California and last year it made enough to buy more than 40,000 people a home.
That could be 40,000 people every year who would be able to put more of the money they're working for toward what they want in life, people who could choose to spend less time working to pay the bills and more time learning new skills and transitioning to work they actually cared about, people who could spend more of their lives taking a larger part in raising and educating their children, people who could get a better return on 30 years of compound interest on their investments, people who could travel and learn new languages and pursue their goals, who could take a more active role in improving our political climate, who could take the time to show solidarity with struggling workers, who could afford to care a little more about the condition our country is in, who could live more fulfilling lives.
Our Approach
I think individual stability is one of the biggest obstacles for our society overall and we can help each other get there with a sacrifice so small collectively that it won't make a noticeable difference to our own progress. While what we're trying to do here will never be THE answer to housing instability or inequity, it does have the potential to do a life changing amount of good for people and I think that's worth trying for.
There are almost forty million people just in California. My starting goal is to get enough of us (about 2 million) giving a single dollar every month to offer home ownership and stability to one randomly chosen person every month.
Until we hit that point once per month I'll pool our resources and give them out to local worker(s), we'll document it by posting it on my YouTube channel. (Link below) Eventually when we've gained enough support what we will be offering people every month is a seed that I'm hoping they'll grow into a real chance to live a stable life with more options available to them and the freedom to pursue those options.
We Can Build This for Ourselves
Too many of us are struggling. Too many of us are an illness or accident away from our lives falling apart. Too many of our children are being raised without stability, stuck in the cycle. Too many of us have given in to apathy as a shield to get through life. Too many of us have lost hope that things can get better. Too many of us are killing ourselves... I'm tired of watching people draw the short straw in the game of life, and I hate feeling like we've set ourselves on a downward trajectory that I'm doing nothing to try to prevent.
I desperately need the time and energy I'm putting into my life to be worth more than just the profit I'm making for whichever giant company I work for or what's the point? This is what I've decided to try to do, and it won't exist unless we are willing to make it happen.
For less than the cost of a loaf of bread, once a month, we could do some really amazing things for people. Anything you're willing to offer would be appreciated and will do good for someone working to build and maintain a life for themselves.
The hardest part of this is going to be spreading by Word of Mouth, so please, if what we're trying to do here resonates with you... help spread the word. Talk to people about this, share us with your friends and family and shoot our link out to your contacts and socials.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to see you in the comments section.
Ways to Help
Give $1 On The First of Every Month
All donations offered through these links will be given out as gifts to local workers. If everyone that was financially able to give that dollar every month was also willing to give it we could reach our goals as fast as people could spread word of what we're doing here.
