being 'off-grid' is a class-signifier to these people, its got no relationship to financial capacity (they often own businesses and large tracts of land). theres some truth to 'cash-poor' but in my experience even when they get an infusion of cash they do not use it to ameliorate the obvious (grid connection, sewage, etc.)
If he can afford a brand new bulldozer he was rich. If i had that kind of money i could not work for the rest of my life and spend my time reading and maybe even writing theory.
