[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1554392, member: 17956"] I will never break down and join that movement. Number one, my home is smack in the middle of my farm. I’d hate to sell it, and build something small. Number two, my wife would never go along with it. Number three not sure how simple the simple life would be as I age. It does appeal to me though. I’ve got it down, to just over a year and I can retire. My kids are in their early teens. Hate to see them go, but I do see the day coming when they move out. Just being totally sufficient, and living off the land. Solar lights, wood heat, eating out of the garden. Living expenses of almost nothing. Minimal trips to town (it’s pretty rough here). The whole thing just seems to draw me in. I used to think it was silly, and the people doing it were just trying to get out work (still feel that way about many). It wouldn’t be that way for me. It’d be a reason to work with my hands, and provide in a way that’s different than I do now. Thoughts????? [/QUOTE]
