RE: WHY WE HOMESTEAD - PART 4 - SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND FINANCIAL GOALS
All very interesting and good reasons to make homesteading your goal in life. So it made me curios about how much I pay in rent for a year. It turned out I have to work 23 (40 hour) weeks a year to just pay my apartment rent. And 6 (40 hour) weeks to pay our utility bills a year. If I didn't pay for those I could have a piece of land in 3 years. Makes you think. but also if I didn't pay those I would be homeless.
That math sure was interesting, and your conclusion is worth contemplating too. Very, very hard to break free and get ahead these days.
Didn't help losing 7 days work because of hurricane Irma.
No kidding.
