Will be moving back to live in his guest cabin and take over the chores/farm side of things. Looking forward to start investing my time and money into some real life valuables!

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.

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 😅😅

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.

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.

I would like to add - access your workload on your farm - when is your busy time of the year, your downtime because unless you are going to have a dairy or a huge bunch of chickens with eggs, there will not be enough work on your farm for year around income - for centuries small farmers have done trade or off farm work - part time or part year. Even if you go apple orchard followed by small pie making factory that only involves a few months a year of solid work and the rest - sales & distributing.

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!

I really enjoy raising chickens but I also enjoy growing certain kinds of foods play Korn and also having a small Orchard of heirloom type of apples, kumquats, cherries, and if I can find any type of citruses I can grow in the Pacific Northwest would be nice... but in general, I like to use traditional haudenosaunee (gov calls us the Iroquois Confederacy) growing traditions, to grow food and raise animals such as chickens who can stick around for quite some time laying eggs and give back by helping with pest control and so forth..... anyways you got the brain stirring up some things that I've been thinking about for years... thanks for the pep talk😎✌️

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.

Joe's wisdom applies in all instances. There are families who have lived frugally to facilitate early retirement and pursue their passions. Personally, I am not yet ready to make a living off the land, however, in the meantime I'll take the advice.

How's it going? After a 3 year break from 25 years of driving, I'm thinking about going back to it for about 3 years to get out of debt and go to farming.

Good advice, The biggest hurdle where I'm located is competing in a saturated market. It's wise to position yourself near an urban area that has the populous to support a small farm operation .

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 😅

Before you do anything with money or your city job, work at least part time on a small farm at least a year, two is better. This is what I did and the experience convinced me that I didn’t have the skills [edit: or the temperament] to be a market gardener. All theoretical and romantic notions I had about starting and operating a small farm were smashed to bits. Find a farm where you can test yourself and you’ll be better off for it. Best of luck.

After two years you didn’t have the skills? What sort of work were you doing? What were the critical skills you didn’t have, or lacked? Marketing? Was someone on the farm withholding critical information to extract labor? Interesting

@@MarbledInformation To be a successful market gardener, you must be really good at planning over the medium and long term. Planning is the top skill of the market gardener. And when your plans fail, you must be flexible and, honestly, savage about profitability. I can plan and stick with one or two crops, but things fall apart once I start layering them. It's the way I'm wired, and I suspect the way most wanna-be gardeners are, too. The other important factor is your physical health. If you have troubles with your back or your knees, for instance, you better get that taken care of first, or you'll be entirely dependent on hired labor, which is not a good place for a startup to be. I've observed that it's young men who have the hardest time with planning and with admitting their limitations. God bless them and their lunkheadedness.

@@gomertube I appreciate the honest and forthright reply! There are so many barriers to the lifestyle and so many unknowns.. It can be overwhelming! My thought is starting with chickens and egg farming because it can be done year around, then learning crops, but who knows! I’ve had enough of Babylon, so I’m properly motivated, but I still know I don’t know enough yet. Thanks for your feedback on this!
