    What is Rich?

    I spent two weeks in Bangalore, India and found out that we are rich! I promised myself that every day I have toilet paper and running water would be a great day and that I would NEVER complain about anything petty again. Changed my perspective on life forever.

    Starting A Homestead/Hobby Farm - Tips?

    We started with a similar plan and have been living our dream for 10 years now. We lived in our RV while we were waiting for the property close so I had a lot of time to research and make some decisions. We have tried, and abandoned, many ideas that sounded good on paper but didn’t work out...
