We have gotten out of debt by building our own homes several times as we moved with our 5 children. We homeschooled so they learned to help with the building projects. My husband learned all the trades. We invested in real estate and over the years have fixed up houses to rent out. We also always had animals and garden. Now that our 5 children are grown we still run a homestead just for our own provisions. We are out of debt. Our income is now from our rentals and Airbnb’s. We homestead and raise our own food because we enjoy the lifestyle and feel we have more control with the food we eat. We are thankful to God and want to be a blessing to others. Especially that they turn to Jesus. This life is only temporary.

Joel, Dave Ramsey, W Buffet all got the same advice, people just need to take it on. Frugality, no debt and enjoy life

[@dakotathompson8062]

Every single one of them put themselves in dept to leverage starting out though.

[@kylemoore907]

Ramsey is an idiot. Please don’t compare him to people who actually give advice. Telling people to pay their bills and not buy unneeded stuff, shouldn’t make him millions 🤷‍♂️. Also, his investment idea is horrible. If my house interest rate is only 1.9%, and I decide to take off cash and pay towards it, instead of investing in a simple ETF… say, does average 8-12% returns….I’m going to miss out on a decade of returns, to save on interest of 1.9%…. Even worse, time can’t be made up. 15 years of missed investment interest is gone. So you’ll pay your house off in 15 vs 30 years. Have no money in retirement. Driving a beater car. And working at Walmart til social security… cause ol dave told ya too Sorry for the rant. I just hate him 😅😅

[@mollyratcliff7300]

I believe you have been listening to some bad information. Dave Ramsey was broke when he started because he tried leveraging and it did not work. Joel and his wife were debt free when they started as well but he did have the advantage of family land. Not 100% on Waren Buffet but from what I understand he started with nothing and made good choices with stock purchases when he had an extra dollar or two. Can you show where they leveraged to get where they are?

This is the single most important advice Joel gives. It's permission to live frugally. At first it feels embarrassing. Eventually you feel empowered saying no to restaurants and vacations.

[@mathgasm8484]

I never felt embarrassed about being frugal. I do challenge myself to be efficient and was happy that I cut down my grocery bill and still have the stuff I want.

[@TomBTerrific]

I’ve been frugal since I was 6 years old. Now I’m 74. I’ve lived a good live travel around the world but never really was able to plant roots. Everything has a price. I retired at 65 and can easily live on my social security because I have no debt. I haven’t had a car payment since 1980 and I always by dependable vehicle and keep them till they give up which surprisingly isn’t often. My truck is an 02 Silverado, I have a 2005 Avalon and a 2012 Camry hybrid. They all run good and I am not mechanical. My house is paid for. Because I bought 2 homes in 2015 when house prices were depressed. I sold one for double what I paid for it and live in this one because my wife loves the house which was built in 2004. Regardless of what you do it’s important to enjoy what you do as much as you can . I had bad days on many a job but I had more good days than bad ones. I don’t have a college education and have been married 3 times. If I can do it so can you. Just make wise choices and learn to tell yourself no!

Double payments to pay off the property. Then when you don't owe a land payment, SAVE that double payment and look for an income stream from your property. You may only need $10,000 a year after you pay it off and are growing the majority of your food.

[@BoreasCastel]

I think farming is very hard because being successful requires so many skills. Understanding people, machinery, nature, structures, workflow, book keeping, etc. Most people just have a few of the skills and struggle to learn the ones they're missing.

[@moilahnyambe3349]

Farming is great

[@DoctorWonka]

I think I agree with you. A couple years ago I quit my good-paying job to pursue my dream. But unexpected “stuff” happened which left us really struggling 🥵. Thank God, I was able to get back into my previous line of work (at higher pay) and start building back again. I have not given up on my dream! But I LEARNED. And now I am more carefully and thoughtfully 🧠🧐working my way into my dream. My regular job I consider as temporary and as a stepping-stone.

[@Said_w_the_G]

Definitely agree. One major machinery breakdown could have you in debt that you tried to avoid. Unless you own the land outright, ahem, inherited it or you lease it first to really prove your mettle, don’t quit your W-2 job to almost starve to death, just to financially get back to where you already are now.

Did all that, but the key is to be in area that values what you have to offer. And it takes a lot of money to get started.

My advice is do it on small manageable scale to supply your family with good food.

I started by downsizing to an rv on grid for 2 years before moving off grid... I'm working on setting my life up as a business.... funny thing is i dunno how I got on that mindset, I felt like it was Devine knowledge being giving to me.... come to find out someone I value the opinion of.... says to do exactly that!

Just bought 5 acres, couldnt continue to live the city life, the stress and anxiety that that life brings upon you was just too much for me. I know nothing about farming though, just trying to live on faith and that hopefully i would figure things out. This path is so lonely though, have no guidance or help. Thank God for youtube 😅

Good luck, remember ducks and rabbits. If I knew you I would come help.

I would add that in a similar vein to frugal living meaning different things to different people, what a vacation is can mean different things to different people. You can make your vacation frugal. I throw a camper shell on my old truck, pack up supplies and build a sleeping spot in the bed of my truck. Cruise around Wyoming camping and hiking for a week or so. Easily an awesome vacation that cost me >$500. If you're already living frugally in all other respects and actively saving money, that's nothing.
