With President Trump what you see is what you get. The media made President Trump the bad guy and the media created the good old uncle Joe gimmick for Biden. Anyone who has been in politics over 20 years is corrupt it's just a matter of degrees. The longer they are there the worse they get.

[@sherihicks1427]

You are so right, Patara! I turned my "programming box" off 4 years ago last month, walked away, and never looked back. I get my "bits and pieces" from folks I've come to respect and trust, like you, for example. I've always enjoyed prepping, but I never had such a burden to do so until 3 years ago. Before, it was for the winter, which goes in cycles of heavy snow/ice storms/ mild and wimpy. It's been kind of wimpy here lately, but I think we're about to go through that cycle again, and have heavy snow and cold temps. Are we ready? I have no illusions--I don't think we ever will be! But I trust Jesus. He said we could ask the Father for anything in His name, and it would be done. I just taught a classroom full of 4 & 5-year-olds that Jesus has the power to give us everything we need. And it's true! We don't have to worry, those of us who know the Lord. We do the best we can, always, and He does the rest. Referring to the feeding of the 5,000 in John 6, I present Him with my pitiful little 5 loaves of bread and 2 puny fish, and He does great things with them!

[@lynnlamont3485]

I've been actively trying to keep my power bill down. My last one was $70. With the money I saved, I bought goodies for my pantry. I splurged a little at the Fresh Market on their Christmas Blend coffee. I'm hoping for a low bill this go round too. I still have not turned on any heat. I use my electric blanket only as long as possible. I turn off all lights in the daytime & do laundry after 8pm, wear layers of clothes. Hey, I'm happy to have extra $$ to spend on preps and plants that produce food. 😊

My son and I homeschool, and while we were reading about William Shakespeare, it said he was raised in a middle-class household. My son was watching and listening to what you said while I threw some curl cream in my hair. When you mentioned the middle-class, he said, "Oh, I know who she's talking about!" 😅 Yes, and it's not us as a single mom making it work on one income. But God provides for us! ❤ I am thankful for what we have. I'd be deep in debt if I wasn't careful, but God has provided 2 paid off vehicles and our home. I am not on food stamps either. God is good.

My local people are very rural and a few years ago there was an influx of Amish, we all seem to be on the same page as far as being self reliant as possible. Once many years ago a family moved here from a fairly 'big' city and walked around trying to 'educate' us poor hicks. That is when I found out that most of us were college educated, obviously no one walked around saying so. This guy ended up moving his family and many of us think he moved to find someone that could stand his condescension. He had a problem herding us cats. :D

I hit Costco yesterday for the first time in six weeks. The quality of the produce was much improved which is a relief because my garden is done. One cart with no dairy, no unnecessary purchases except Christmas cards, and very little meat cost $497.00. The same purchases two years ago would have been around the $300 mark. The only downside to gardening is the sticker shock when the garden is done and we have to buy produce 😢

One of those "do it now if you can" things I'm working on is addressing all my health quirks and doing the big "welcome to middle age" screenings. Right now we have insurance and the money to do it, so I am. It doesnt show on a leger, but your health really impacts your ability to get stuff done. I developed a cranky shoulder this summer and it hits me in ways I hadn't anticipated, making me less able to do work around our place, which ups hubby's workload, which I hate.

Thank you Patara!! You mentioned SEPTIC and I thought "Oh I completely forgot about the septic!" We just moved here and don't know the history of the septic. We are way out in the country and can't afford to have a major problem during Winter. Weeks ago we searched and found the septic out in the yard and dug around and uncovered both the septic tank and the overflow tank. Today when you mentioned the septic and how we are going into Winter I panicked. I made a few calls and a pump truck is coming at noon from the nearby town 30 miles away to do the deed. It will be $300. We saved $200 just for digging and exposing the lids ourselves! Good thing we have been listening to Patara for the last couple of years and have been saving our money for necessities so we have money in the account for these kind of things. 😁

My Dad made my first 1 and it wore out so I use it now as a bookstand in the house. It is very special. Can't hold weight any longer. I like using 2-3 @ a time. Girls can eat while milking the next goat. I have milked many in past but this year will only 2-3 like you. Time and energy are limited and you can't do everything you want.

[@georgiafrancis9059]

Oh My Gosh! The cute goat babies bring a smile to my face and a warm fuzzy feeling! Thank you for sharing your wonderful animals with us. God bless you and your family.

I window shop the mall and online retailers then hit the thrift stores and get as close as i can to current fashion

[@lmccarty2201]

Thanks for showing the babies! So cute and needed today! Blessings

I went thrifting yesterday, I found a brand new Michael Kors pair of jeans 120.00 retail for 19.00. Yes, I paid 19.00 for a pair of brand new jeans. I had to go back to work part time to continue to live the lifestyle I had when my hubby was alive. So I needed some nicer jeans to ware.

I love the quote from William Shakespeare “I am not bound to please thee with my answers.” My goal is to be free from opinions that I do not respect because they are based on current culture and not truth… the truth of the Scripture. Some people will never be free because they reject The Truth

You are such a beautiful person and richer than the biggest billionaire . You are blessed in so many ways. Thank you ❤️

[@nylenyap3933]

Thank you Patara!

Patera our company health insurance went up over $500 per week depending if you have a wife and children. Our home insurance went up $600 last year. Our property taxes doubled about 5 years ago. Building material doubled here. I got a $3 raise this year. 😢

The milk looked heavenly! Yes, so many have normalcy bias...as if nothing is changing or nothing will happen.

[@jscasecase471]

The kids(goat babies) are precious. I pick and choose what I watch and then use a lot of discernment. Thank you for another great video.

[@jillbayer641]

I always question why. Lol about everything!😂

[@LynnDavisHathaway]

Those goat babies are adorable! I just want to hug them all up! ❤❤

[@BohemianLifer]

Most of those people have no clue; it is quite, funny! Bless their heart.

[@pizzagal197]

[@tc41089]

Oh those goat babies are so cute!!!! 🌻

[@lawaincooley6788]

I love your life!! I know it is hard work but you are blessing the land, those animals and your family! May the Lord continue to bless you all!

[@mayhembeading3737]

Thank you for teaching us about milking. It's important information and what we need. Biscuits are great, but showing critical chores is lifesaving. 😊

[@lynnlamont3485]

I love bargain shopping! I got a pair of Sperry duck boots for $25 and they are normally at least $100. I'm stocking up on extra quilts and blankets too. I got a beautiful queen size heavy quilt for $9.

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

Just make sure to wash everything that comes from Thrift stores immediately... bedbugs are real unfortunately:(

[@maryglover8283]

Great finds!

[@dimabeth1]

You are right the abilities to live as we were are next to impossible. Their stories of improvement are way off. The price of just insurance on. Homes vehicles, supplemental health, medicine insurance, life ect takes a big chunk of the budget. They have no remorse when they raise the rates. Charging a fee to use your card to buy gas or meals in cafes now add to cost. Rising gas, heating, electric,and food do not sound like recovery to us. The slide out of middle class into poverty is obvious . GOD help younger people with rent or mortgages. Day care and school expenses take another massive hit on financial security. As we are older and have seen all this play out in lesser degrees through the years. We are able to tell this is way worse. I am in my early 70s

Thank you, Patara! Yes, I agree with getting news from varied sources - sometimes you can find the exact same "story" reported on very differently so a wise person can whittle the facts from the opinion by hearing or reading from different perspectives. Remember what's a lovely meal for a spider is horrible chaos for the fly. Anyone with income so large as to be unaffected by the drastic differences in current living expenses as compared to even a year ago might be the ones most taken aback if something catastrophic happens because they may be caught unaware. I pray for the wool to be removed from the eyes of folks who cannot see what's going on - the same ones who want to censor what the public knows are the ones who are like the All-Powerful Oz hiding behind the curtain and operating all the levers and switches, and without wholesome motives I'd wager. Keep on keepin' on, y'all!

I love Venus' GoGo boots. ❤
