Debt Free Off Grid Homestead - Our Freedom 35 Story

3 роки тому

How we went from a normal job and mortgage to living live millionaires on our debt free off grid homestead... our Freedom 35 story.
Firstly, the freedom 35 plan:
1) Get out of debt by camping on our cheap off grid land
2) Keep working and earning - but get ahead instead of trying to catch up
3) Invest in yourself - your family, your health, your homestead, your business
4) Don't slave away to stack up millions - Pursue work you enjoy and balance it with your lifestyle.
This has worked great for us. Once you "take the power back" you can take risks, pursue your big ideas, and invest in the important things.
Good luck on your own off grid homestead adventures, let us know how it goes!

Not many people have done this stuff but I have for 50 years. Trouble when you start to get over the hill you look back and think I could do that once upon a time. I did do that a hundred times. Hubnting the elk with the horses like they did earlier. One of my daughters did that, like a squirell on top of that horse goign up thouugh nasty forest. We fell on horses but they were ours and our buddy's and we took care of each other. And we packed off hundreds of elk. I have to teach the Grandkids now, they ride like their Mom already. My only Grand-daughter is old enough this year for her first elk hunt. Hope I can hang on to pass on the thousand skills I learned the hard way to the boys. Nothing more wonderful than hunting in mountains like that, free, clean air, and beauty.

I have been watching your videos for well over a year now. Rose and Jeff are the perfect mother and father. They raise their daughters teaching them that they can do anything. To me they are the closest thing to a perfect family. Their daughters can have opinions without fear of reprisal. Whenever they are pushed Jeff and Rose know that their daughters can do it. If they fall, they pick them up and help them and encourage them to complete the task at hand. I truly believe there's nothing these girls can't accomplish. They can look to their parents who have cut out a little piece of the Earth and made it their home. Much respect to the whole family.

Excellent. My wife and I pretty much did the same in New Brunswick. We even lived in a tent for 3 months while I built our offgrid house.

Spot on about debt. I think it's one of the biggest problems with our contemporary culture, and it goes way beyond just the math.

@4philipp 3 роки тому

If you consider the world to be a zero sum game, then debt is the only factor driving growth. An unlimited resource that doesn’t really exists. So would we still live the 1800’s dream without debt? Poverty is not defined by what you have, but by how much (or little) you can borrow. Which in turn is defined by your ability and likelihood to repay it.

@JamesCouch777 3 роки тому

@@4philipp I've lived my whole life pretty much debt free. Now that I'm old I've got more money than I could ever spend and all my relatives who lived on credit can barely pay their bills.

@22brianm 2 роки тому

The basic premise and assumption there gets people in trouble. We cannot forget our Creator, our Judge and our Redeemer. To assume that the fruitfulness of the earth is simply a zero sum game, and debt is the only expansion tool (never mind the basic premise that what cannot go on forever won't) is a really poor way to look at things, in a literal sense. Be blessed mate, there is more going on here
