Not impossible, depending on the country in which you live, but probably risky, slightly illogical and immoral. You are essentially evading tax whilst confessing to "live well", not to mention simultaneously declaring this way of life as requiring sacrifices whilst saying it is not impractical.Originally Posted by Blameless 
In a very real sense, I have already made such sacrifices.
I am not "most people" and I have even less desire to play by the rules most people enslave themselves with.
I have no insurance (other than well hidden savings), no benefits, and have never been anything but self-employed. I have no diploma, no degrees, no certifications, and no employment record. I have never filed a tax return. I have never written a resume. I have never filled out a job application. I likely never will. Yet, I've managed to live largely on my own for most of the last decade, and I live well.
Most people likely would consider the way I live my life to be impractical, or even impossible, but most people are narrow-minded, unimaginative, idiots.

This does not make a lot of sense, but even if it did it is not the same as evading debt collectors or a CCJ in the United Kingdom. If creditors (in this case the RIAA) were at the point where they are filing for a CCJ or employing a debt collection agency then your finances would not remain private for long. And past tax evasion would likely make life considerably worse.
You also currently profess to "live well", this would not be possible if you had £500,000 in debts being spread between a debt collection company and a CCJ enforced repayment plan. Which was my original point.
